writing (and writing)

the big push

to complete and print the MFA exegesis draft for the examiners

(its to be submitted next weekish)

I'm making work (to go in the exegesis to go to the examiners...)

so I'm writing (and writing)

ruling pen in hand - trials and trials

('if at first you don't succeed' trial trial again)

the handpenned title page for

(what I hope will be) a special book

to form part of my MFA exhibition

(more on that soon)

now -- its back to the studio for me!

book week

August 17 - 23 is National Book Week

 

and this year I decided I'm going to celebrate by lugging my Very Long Book

into Candelo Books Bega

on Monday August 19

for a spot of public binding and blabbing about BOOOOOOOOOKS

 

I'll no doubt be chatting about things from my MFA research project

like Coptic binding

or encyclopaedias

or 'the death of the book'

or book arts

or biblioclasm

or whatever else tickles the fancy of passing people....


if you are in the neighbourhood - please drop in and say hiya!

 

(I'll let you pat the book if you smile nicely...)

TAG - 14

four classic novels fill the gap...

 in the granite foundations 

of the old (and long gone) sams creek bridge
