Book binding musings.

This is me in the process of book making for my series of artist books focused on the theme of self-portraiture.

The reason I have chosen artist books as a platform for a self portrait is because it can be added to afterwards not effecting past additions. The traditional one object or one painting as a form of self-portrait seems too linear and to the point for me. A person is multi-dimensional and therefore, I believe, that a person should be represented by several separate outcomes to reference each part of them. Books are also a good platform for this project because they can be both very personal and inward (in the form of a diary or journal) but also very objective and universal (in forms such as non fiction). Both of which I am trying (and struggling) to capture in this piece of work.

More pictures my book making progress to be posted soon.
