It shouldn’t really come as a complete surprise to me that I would be drawn towards artist books as a medium to explore. I am preparing for the fabulous Turn the Page event again this year, delighted at having been selected to show for the second time. I have been reflecting on how much I enjoyed experiencing the other work on offer last year as well as the very rich and diverse conversations I had with other artists and the public alike. But surprised I am all the same, at the emergence of this particular strand of creative endeavour. I am, for once, not going to venture down the path of over-thinking (one well travelled), but just enjoy this parallel journey, understand the connection to my other work in development and embrace further discoveries.
Here’s a wee taster of what’s to come… they can be viewed in full at Turn the Page 2014, 2nd and 3rd of May at the Forum, Norwich. A great reason to visit this vibrant city.
