A day in London at Camberwell – 30 years of making and
thinking about books compressed into 4 hours – starting the day by work
shopping the generation of images, ideas
of translation into text , construction of multiple narratives including
nonlinear, exploration of sequence, introducing the idea of form as content
through 3D structures, manipulation as narrative, 100 years of western book
construction including experimental and combination bindings, a presentation
that de-constructs the idea of the book and supports the students in rethinking
their relationship to book (image above is from presentation). Students go away with lots to think about alongside
a brief that directs them to a specific location chosen by themselves where
they will have to make a piece of book art that is informed by that space. looking forward to seeing the results next
week.
