Press, Bristol, UK 'Lending a hand'. I created a happening in the garden shed, inviting close friends to a pop-up exhibition of recent bookworks, and giving each of them a brief description of our artists' books project for Iraq. Honoured to be included, friends' hands were photographed holding a book: images taken in black and white exemplify the gravity of the past as well as the beauty of these hands in the present, and the hope we hold. Each person received a handmade bookmark to acknowledge their contribution and the resultant work, hope lies in our hands includes a bookmark too. About Lilla: Lilla's final piece of work for her MA in printmaking and artists' books was a 60 page website, a demanding and fulfilling challenge that facilitated her creative practice returning to a heart-centred focus. As a suitable descriptive title, for now, she calls herself a bricoleur, and is creative director of her collaborative group, tribe.  lilla.visionworks@blueyonder.co.uk www.thesmallcentreforcollaborativepractice.com |
