Do Not Enter 2012
Sarah Bodman


Individual artist's book produced for Codex Event 8: An Australian / British collaboration of pulp-printing, installation
and artists' books with Sarah Bodman, Paul Laidler, Tim Mosely, Monica Oppen and Tom Sowden, 2011-2012

Produced after a two-week residency at Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Brisbane, working with Tim Mosley
and Paul Laidler, on an installation at POP Gallery, Brisbane, the resulting sheets of paper made from the wall scrapings
of the installation were sent to each artist to produce a book by March 2012.

Our theme was the urban jungle, moving between smooth and striated space as defined by Deleuze and Guattari's
explorations in their publication A Thousand Plateaus.

Found text from the city environs and the installation became the basis for a text piece of dystopian malfunction in
21st Century controlled movements and observation.

Hand sewn and bound, with tooled title by Rachel James at Bristol Bound Bookbinding.
Taped with 'caution - attention' yellow tape. March 2012
