Brought to Book

Welcome to my new website! Plaudits to Gayle Karen Young for setting this up for me. I am delighted to be able to share my work on a more consistent basis.

Two of my books are currently showing at the Crafts Study Centre Centre until August 2019 in the exhibition entitled ‘Brought to Book’ (http://www.csc.uca.ac.uk/programme/): ‘This exhibition draws work from the whole range of the Crafts Study Centre’s collections. It investigates the way that particular collections relate to a book of some description. The book may be a formal record of a craft process; or a scholarly analysis of the maker’s work set in an art or social context; or a listing of samples; or a volume of poetry; or an artwork in its own right. In each case the maker, researcher or curator has taken a very particular care to record specific objects in the collection, or has used the collection as a basis for original creative work. The exhibition reveals academic integrity, private thoughts, creative struggles and romantic reflection on the past. Research and creative writing are placed in the public domain, often after long periods of study. ‘
