Plans afoot...

This next few months will be a busy time with plans for a number of events. The first being an exhibition with Artbookart at ​Gallery 70​, Leigh on Sea, followed by two Artist Book Fairs in April and then May. Needless to say I am busy "pulling threads" together and completing work. I am hoping to incorporate some of the marbling techniques and drawings into various book structures.

Beyond the Page exhibition will feature work inspired by Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson.  It is a beautifully written book which conjures a host of images and possibilities.  Narrowing down my ideas and finding a particular focus - while enjoyable, has taken more time than I expected. However there's nothing like a deadline to stop the procrastinating and  crack on!
Each of us in ​Artbookart will be making an artist book so it will be interesting to see the various  interpretations come together.

First sketch ideas.
​ I have decided to make the book three dimensional by using a map fold.
The seahorse talisman is referred to as 'the lost hero of time" and will rise up through the centre of the book.
