The images in this zine are comprised from a number of projects I undertook throughout a twelve month period in order to try to understand the issues in the brief of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Book Artists’ Project.

They range from a series of ‘lost letters’ that are words cut from pages of a book on psychosomatics and reconstructed in to messages, lost voices; to a photograph of protesters against Gaddafi here in the market place of Durham in the northeast of England. And a suspended book being slowly destroyed by absorbing oil from a dish which was a project to think about books used as cultural artefacts and containers of cultural identities.
