Artist books

So some may say that summer has come early in more than one way.. Firstly the beautiful weather we've been having! please don't let it go! and also to my advantage college have given us another 6 weeks off college for various reasons.. setting us a project with no rules. okay well one .. make a Artist Book.


"Artists' books are books or book-like objects over the final appearance of which an artist has had a high degree of control; where the book is intended as a work of art in itself." Stephen Bury


within this project we have no boundaries, we can do what we want, how we want. I think id go as far to say this is probably the best project we been set this year. 


Ive decided my theme is going to be : yesterday today tomorrow 
Ive taken alot of influence from Kurt Schwitter, I really like his style of work, as it is very cut and paste/ collage.
I took influence from this particular piece as Schwitter has taken stamps, letters and photographs, that all have links to one another and made it into one piece. 




so for Today's page in my book its going to be based around 'The royal wedding'
I intend on including, the Union Jack, today's date, a photograph of William And Catherine and other objects/slogans that have influence on today's occasion. 


well before I head off, im very sorry for not being about just recently, ive been very busy, but im back now and will hopefully keep things up to date.
Happy Blogging,
