Handmade books
Lockdown Book
A relief printed book, folded down to make eight sides from one piece of A4 paper. Printed using oil based relief printing ink on a press. A small cover band printed with a face mask on tracing paper keeps the book closed. An edition of 30 sold to raise money for the charity MIND.
Lockdown 'Isolation' book
Handmade during the first lockdown. Made with used postal envelopes, hand sewn together. Painted with inks, bleach, textured acrylic medium, white emulsion paint and paint pens and with some added cardboard inserts, this book reflects my temperament and mood at the time of being furloughed.
New York Memories
A small pocket book made from one of the museum guides folded up. Inside, the book holds tickets for my flights and various tourist attractions I went to while I was there.
