Artist Book, Concertina, linocuts and collage of local birds
Handmade Artist Book, concertina type, using collage and linocut techniques.
This book captures several of our very local birds here in North Queensland, including the Red backed fairy wren, Magpie lark, Sunbirds, Stone Curlew, Magpie, Bee eater, Helmeted friarbird, Barking Owl, Jacana, and the Great Bowerbird. The images of the birds are made using linocuts, and the colours are made using painted collage papers. I have titled the book 'Seeing'
Size closed: Length 15.8 cm, Width 15.8 cm, Thickness 2 cm. There are 22 pages.
It is an edition of 5. Given the handmade nature of this artwork there are small differences between the books in the edition. The collage elements followed the same colours and proportions and are arranged similarly but not identical throughout the edition. I purposely made different covers (using the same bird and style but slightly different pose and position in the cover).
Edition of 5
printed on 300 gms acid free paper using oil inks
The book will be posted well wrapped and protected.
