| Rebinding,
Andrew Morrison, Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK, September 2012 Books are amongst the most precious and the most vulnerable of our artefacts. The need to restore seems to me to be a defining human activity. The tools of the trade are almost universal, yet they are ensouled by individual usage and marks of ownership and to create metaphors from these things is a natural extension of our familiarity with shape and function. 'Rebinding' remarks on the ephemeral nature of paper and cloth and contrasts this with the desire to rebuild and remake: attributes that are enduring. 270 x 205 mm. Medium - Images: Gum Arabic print, Text: letterpress http://twowoodpress.co.uk |
