codex infinitum: circle booklets

circle booklets

As a continuation of my play with coptic binding and form I've taken to my collection of childcraft volumes and have created coptic bound circular forms....

volume 15 - the guide for parents - bound in a simple circle (dia approx 35cm)

volume 14 - about me - (part one) - again bound as a simple circle (approx 12cm dia)

(sections prepared and sorted ready for binding part two of the about me volume)

volume 14 - about me - 2 coptic bound forms

(detail of yellow bound spine )

I have informally posted and chatted about these on my home blog site....

artists statement...

I was born, raised and remain in a small community on the far south coast of NSW.
Connection to family and place are central to both my identity and my arts practice.

My work crosses media and disciplines – with a background in the traditional crafts of calligraphy and book arts, I have an enduring interest in language, text and book forms, but my arts practice has evolved to include photography, video, sculpture and installation.

Much of my creative impetus derives from an active interest in permaculture and transition culture with their emphases on sustainability.

I am currently working with salvaged books and the book form, exploring ideas about knowledge and epistemology as these relate to site, self and issues of sustainability.
