The Tempest revisited

Here are some new promotional photos of an etched concertina book I made back in 2011.  This was a difficult piece of work to photograph, because it's such a wide book!

The book is in an edition of twenty and is a wordless, panoramic etching of The Tempest.

Books for sale at the Fruitmarket Gallery

New editions of The Tempest and The Resurrectionists are now on sale at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh.

These are cheaper versions of the original etched and aquatint versions and are made with a combination of digital prints, lithography and laser cutting.

Glasgow International Artists' Bookfair 2012

Thank you to everyone who came to last weekend's Glasgow International Artists' Bookfair!

It was a tiring but worthwhile two days. There was some fantastic and beautiful work on sale - see GIAB 2012 for images and information on all the participants.

The reaction to the new books (The Tempest) was a nice surprise - thank you to everyone who bought one.

Above and below are a little preview of some new work I'm doing for an etched book. Next week aquatints will be made from the plate. And then the bookmaking begins...
