COLLECTION BOUND

 

Recently landed: Collection bound

A new article on Marginalia takes a look at With wings outstretched and quivering and Something reverberated.

Though these two artists’ books can make a line from cover to cover, we feel they can be entered at any point the reader chooses. They can be folded by the double spread, they can be coiled into a spiky circle or a star, depending upon your point of view. These ‘of paper, ink, and glue’ ecosystems, to us, are as cyclical as the earth itself, a circulation of experiences growing on the page. They are our celebration of the green spaces that give us solace. They are a part of our own act of reciprocity for that which continues to restore us.

I have been collaborating with Louise Jennison since 1999, making artists’ books, collages, large-scale installations, prints, drawings, zines, and various tales. Besotted still, it appears, with paper for its adaptable, concealable, revealing nature, we use an armoury of play, the poetic and familiar too, with the intention of luring you into our A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines).

As artists and wildlife carers, our practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity. Our home-based studio is also home to our wildlife shelter, Tiny but Wild.

I collage with words about dance for Fjord Review.
