City fold out watercolour books
These watercolour and ink fold out books express a city scape. They fold open to reveal my illustration form page to page. There is constant line that flows from each building expressing a telephone wire, where finally the line ends up at a phone box at the end.
Systematic Underground Tube book
This accordion book was made around the idea of using the tube window as a frame. So from Angel and Elephant and Castle I used the stops in between as the system where by I took pictures out of the same window of what ever appeared at each stop. The images created are totally random and couldn't have been predicted. They were random selections of bill boards on the London underground.
Workshop with year 4 children
I put on a work shop with year 4 children from Graiseley Primary School. Overall the workshop was successful and the children were fun to work with as they seemed very interested in my ideas and approach within illustration. I showed them my books and folding techniques as well as my Ink illustration technique which they seemed to love! We created three piece creature drawings which then combined with the rest of the groups would create a book with interchanging body parts. The concept appeared exciting to the children, and we are all eagerly awaiting the finished result in a book form that will be sold a book fairs and to the school.
Leeds Artists' Book Fair 2009
I Sold some of my books at the Leeds book fair. One Of my Systematic Journey books was sold to the Tate Britain Collection and another to the Regional College Of Art. The Tate collection archive is open to the pubic (www.tate.org.uk).
The City
This is my small silk screen book where I used my illustrations of the city in creating the images. I wanted to create the same kind of effect in these as my watercolor pieces posses, so overlaid colour.
