An altered book...my first one
I have just finished making this book for an exhibition to be shown at the IMPACT 8 printmaking conference in Dundee later this month. I will be helping host some sort of open portfolio with all our books at some point during this 4/5 day event.
The idea was to use Blurb, the online publishing company and make a book within their constraints and alter it. This was quite challenging. The paper was truly awful, even though I upgraded from the basic one. Numbered pages appeared on some of the pages in a different font to the one I was using for the text to name a couple of the problems I was faced with.
However I am actually really pleased with the result. It is incredibly fragile and will probably be in tatters by the end of IMPACT, but I will have a couple more up my sleeve.
