rejectamenta bookmarks
Emma Powell
Leicester, England, UK
My set of 100 bookmarks is made from a collection of the bookmarks I am currently using. All my bookmarks
are bits of ‘rejectamenta’ - anything that has been discarded. In this instance they consist of a paperclip, a
Chinese receipt from a friend’s trip, various barcodes, embroidery thread packaging, a section of French lined
paper and a bit of dress-making ‘pattern’ paper.
I don’t own any ‘proper’ bookmarks - I would only lose them!
There are five different bookmark designs and each one has four perforated sections. The idea is that you tear
a section off and then use it as a bookmark. You will then be using a bookmark with a bookmark on it. You could
even photograph it in-situ and email me a photo…
These bookmarks have been created under the umbrella of ‘we love your books’. I am one of three members and
amongst other things we put on a yearly ‘open’ exhibition. If you would like to enter our May 2008 exhibition
please go to our website for full details : www.weloveyourbooks.com.
I am also in the process of studying for a practice-based PhD at Kingston University. My research is all
about the use of ‘rejectamenta’. More information about my work can be seen at : www.rejectamenta.com.
