Travelling Book Art Competition

One of my hand made books was selected for a Micro Pages travelling exhibition in late 2010-2011.  They travelled throughout the UK and then visited Tumba in Sweden.  Micro Pages started a conversation about the issues surrounding the display of artists' books, and there was on-line debate as part of the event.  The books that were selected related to the history of artists' books, archives and libraries, or challenged the preconceptions of the future of preservation and display.  The pieces I entered are shown here.  The first image shows the book jacket I made to cover the book as part of the rationale for the piece of work.

This shows the inside and outside, and because of the nature of the exhibition, it was sealed in a see-through package.  This was a book I made using a card cover with hand stitched binding, and then the book jacket was made to go over it.
