New Books

It is my pleasure to launch two new Artist’s Books busily printed and folded over the last few weeks in preparation for this week’s Artist Bookmarket at the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh.

The Secret Garden Party

This is a playful silkscreen printed concertina book exploring a journey through an intriguing garden full of surprises.

14.8 x 10.5 cm

Unlimited edition

William & Rose

Following a series of commissions celebrating weddings and wedding anniversaries, I was inspired to create this small book of humourous proverbs about marriage.

Silkscreen print

14.8 x 14 cm

Unlimited edition

Both books will be on display and for sale along with my other publications under The Book Tree Press at the fair this Saturday, do come and say hello if you make it along. There will also be a whole series of fascinating talks to compliment the stalls which represent the best in artist’s book work in Scotland, and a few from beyond.

Happy Easter!

Rome wasn't built in a day....

... but occasionally designers set themselves little challenges such as a one day project - fond memories of art college are flooding back!

This week I set aside one day to design and print a little book I have been pondering over for a while. There's no such thing as a seagull?' was inspired by early outings with my husband's parents. They have become keen bird watchers over the last few years and after being corrected several times as I commented on seagulls around Leith, I soon learned that the seagull in itself does not actually exist, but is instead the commonly mistakenly identified herring gull or lesser black-backed gull!

Bird watching lesson over! I hope you enjoy this sneaky peak into the new artist's book which I hope will make you chuckle. A copy is winging its way to my in-laws now and lets hope they enjoy my playful observations and a little pride that they have managed to educate me on my bird species!

 

This is a digitally printed edition of 40 books measuring 105 x 105 mm. It will be available to buy this coming Tuesday at the Artist's Bookmarket hosted by The Fruitmarket Gallery, retailing at £10.
