In my unique Artists' books, I write
all my own text, I produce all my own images and I print and bind all
the structures. My strongest work is three-dimensional. The constantly
visual and tactile surprises that three-dimensional structures produce
have made book forms a natural progression from my first work in Fashion,
Toy Design and Model making.
The versatility of paper allied to collagraphs, text printing and using
various binding methods all result in the book forms that I have produced
to date. Some of my small editions now include handmade paper with my
text and images manipulated on the computer before printing.
Inspiration for my work comes from environmental memories, for example
memories of Namibia, but also memories of precious things held in the
hand. Environmental memories (memory of place) are a universal human
experience producing feelings unique to each person. My books are my
response to those feelings.
My style of book presentation involves the reader in the discovery process
- unfolding a book's secrets providing an environment for a memorable
experience. To touch, read and explore will produce unique feelings
that become the reader's own environmental memory.
