carpe diem for BAO - page by page

 

at impact 7...

Last week I went to Melbourne
to attend Impact 7 international printmaking conference
(with the assistance of a grant from Regional Arts NSW... thanks RANSW)

I was there to set up the small exhibition for Book Art Object...

and present as part of Open Portfolio...

I also managed to catch a few interesting chats and keynote speakers 

(so many things to choose from)

and check out a heap of other booky/printmaking exhibitions on offer

and take in the sights of Melbourne....

The best bit was a trip to Beautiful Silks in Fitzroy 

where I collected a whole bunch of supplies 

to try out as part of the next major bit of work for Codex Infinitum...

 mmmmm threads, yarns, cloth, ribbons.... 

I'm looking forward to getting my hands really into these 

as I trial a few of my gestating ideas about books and creek 

and using materials found on site....
