Bound by Life
Unique artists book, 46 pages (A3),
graphite, crayon, pastel, oil paint, collage stamping, dated October 2008. I often consider these large works ‘the glory
days’ of book making. When one begins
making books, the energy and creativity which accompanies this new found
passion is ungovernable, as is the excitement of collaboration.
Lesley has been a long-time friend, always
willing to tackle odd projects (as mine tend to be). Her comment, way back then was that my work
was always ‘dark’ and this book was a conversation between my gloomy and pessimistic
images and her beautiful pencil and collage images, lightly executed to create
an interesting dialogue between medium and message.
