Continuing Project.

Here are all 4 of the centre and side page spreads for the new book. Each long strip will be folded in half and the smaller side panels attached at each end. Unfortunately the light shining on the metallic paint has once again made the prints difficult to see, and I have also added a little bit more to a couple of the images since I took the photo.

A Couple More.

I am more or less thinking of energy being broadcast from these spheres, so I am cutting rubber stamps with patterns that I can use to depict 'energy',  repeated marks such as the ones above.

New Project for 2024.

Responding to notification for an exhibition of artists books later in the year, I have been exploring some ideas for a new book. My previous entries have been books featuring insects in general and beetles in particular. Below are some preliminary prints on a completely different, and for me, unusual topic.  The book is going to be an 'expanding accordion' book, which features a little bit of sewing of spines, and I think it will make an effective display of the prints, both sides of which will be seen. 

I'm using a lot of metallic paint on the gel plate, making it very hard to photograph, perhaps scanning is the way to go.
