<br />
I'd been invited to come along and share/show <br />
whatever tickled my little booky fingers<br />
<br />
I thought a collection of book forms <br />
along with my very very loooooooooong book <br />
might be interesting for folk attending all the author talks<br />
<br />
so my fingers got busy!</div>

To make a unified collection of book models <br />
where the structure and form would be the focus <br />
I used a restricted palette of colours and materials<br />
<br />
its all about blues/purples and neutrals with sprinkles of repurposed atlas pages<br />
<br />

When I started to share some pics of my little super models on IG <br />
things got interesting<br />
<br />
(note to the world: the names of book structures would really benefit from <br />
a universally accepted terminology - just like biology)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
one person's fortune teller is another's chatterbox<br />
(or cootie catcher, whirlybird or even a conversation) <br />
<br />
And what is it about the names we use for some of the simplest structures:<br />
the ubiquitous 4-page 'instant book' that's probably been around forever <br />
mostly became known (at least in some circles) as a zine structure <br />
even though the term 'zine' refers more to the contents than the form<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(side note: the zine became an underground (and undergrad!) fixture in the post-punk, DIY, activist, art school world.... ) </span><br />
<br />
and you know how it is - when you give creative people a piece of paper <br />
it's not long before they cut and fold and find new ways of making book objects...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxE3qZyxLX2AYy9nXQXPJZLvIEUZLqxJdv5CwfEORN1-Mv895vu3rg6BjOzUL6Fbk056d39GidhaGvFMZrtnajZlN5Y9rCHDKIJijLlRsVNNtZueRnlalxjt2KrgqOO8kgTdfbfzUYdhU/s1600/IMG_9941.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxE3qZyxLX2AYy9nXQXPJZLvIEUZLqxJdv5CwfEORN1-Mv895vu3rg6BjOzUL6Fbk056d39GidhaGvFMZrtnajZlN5Y9rCHDKIJijLlRsVNNtZueRnlalxjt2KrgqOO8kgTdfbfzUYdhU/s640/IMG_9941.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so - is this a double zine? an eight page instant book? eight-fold v book? an island book? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or perhaps you know this form by another name?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
ooooooo and talking of 'zines' <br />
have you noticed how some folk say 'zine' (rhymes with 'mine') <br />
while others pronounce the word 'zeen' (rhymes with teen)? <br />
<br />
I suspect it has something to do with where/how you first encountered the word:<br />
if you read of 'zines' then its perfectly understandable that this word would rhyme with 'mine'. <br />
BUT if you encountered a 'zine' through zine culture <br />
then it's a ZEEEEEEEEN baby (as in 'maga-zine')<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I think you can figure how I pronounce the word </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">and I doubt you'll be surprised to learn that I first came across zines back in the 1980s </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">when cut-and-paste, scissors and glue ruled the (art) school yard </span><br />
<br />
<br />
Essentially the <a href="http://www.macmillandictionary.com/pronunciation/british/zine" target="_blank">zine</a> was my gateway structure to the wonderful world of book arts</div>

It was surprising that I needed 3 long trestle tables for all the little models to strut their stuff</div>

opened the suitcase containing my loooooooooong book <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier in the year <br />I accidentally stumbled onto making ephemeral book
art works <br />that I (rather quickly I must say) referred to as <br />my 'bound
knowledge' series </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the series spurred <a href="http://rhondaayliffe.blogspot.com.au/2016/11/interwoven.html" target="_blank">two assemblages and an initial postcard set</a> <br />but mostly I shared the series over the year<br />somewhat sporadically and haphazardly on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/book_ronnie/" target="_blank">instagram </a><br /><br />in case you don't do the insta - <br />here were a few of my favourite moments: </div>

Regular bloggy visitors will know of my long held interests in all things booky and
ephemeral art-making (often biblioclastic in nature) and that I've long
been intrigued by knowledge and epistemology (the fancy word for
'theory of knowledge'): What does it mean to 'know' things? how do we
learn? what are the differences between knowledge and wisdom and
intelligence? what is tacit knowledge, explicit knowledge, empirical
knowledge? how does knowledge affect ethics? what can we learn from
indigenous knowledge systems? can there be universal truths?</blockquote>

For this collection I took books from my (ok I admit it --- LARGE) stockpile, stripped
them of their covers/identity, wrapped them in various materials; some
natural and found in situ, some from my fabric stash, then I placed the
bound books in the environment. I quickly settled on a simple 'cross' wrapping for most books as, for almost 2 millennia, the book, knowledge and the church were intimately intertwined or bound to each other. By binding books with and to natural elements I was interested in honouring different knowledge systems. Each time I posted two pics of the work on instagram -- an up close and personal shot and an additional image taken from a distance. Having a photo of the work in its environment allowed me to add a pithy little philosophic musing on knowledge into the mix --- Plato, Kant, Hume, Nietzsche, Emerson, Socrates, Dewey, Russell all got an outing. I am happy to admit that I don't 'get' large chunks of philosophy (all the post-modern folk just make my head hurt) but in small pieces it seems to make more sense!<br /><br />The bound knowledge series unexpectedly became a highlight in a challenging year. </blockquote>

<i>Dark Emu</i> is small gem<br />all about indigenous agriculture in Australia (pre-colonisation) <br /> I suspect it will become a part of the national curriculum <br />(its that important) <br /><br />when I bought/read the title you can see it was shortlisted for <br />the Vic Premiers award which it subsequently won</div>

<br />Not long after I devoured this book <br />I stumbled over an interview with Joshua in <a href="http://www.dumbofeather.com/" target="_blank">Dumbo Feather</a><br />he's what you'd call a real individual... </div>

I'm a total sucker for beautifully made books<br />(I joke that I only had kidlets to justify buying children's picture books!)<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently encountered some images from '<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ledgerbook-Thomas-Blue-Eagle/dp/1565660633" target="_blank">The Ledgerbook of Thomas Blue-Eagle</a>' <br />and just had to bring it to my stacks<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Indeed I love collecting those books that made a big impression on me<br />like these two titles by <a href="http://www.leonardkoren.com/" target="_blank">Leonard Koren</a><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I first read these titles when completing my MVA <br />(which was before my MFA) --- ooo how I miss my university library...<br /><br />Again, these date from the 1990s so when I saw two sparkly new copies <br />in the bookshop at the <a href="https://www.mca.com.au/" target="_blank">MCA </a>in Sydney<br />I took it as a sign - into my bags they went!<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I'm always on the lookout for titles to add to my library <br />I'd love to hear your recommendations<br />what's the best book you've read this year?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7rjd4QmDERz6xY7zUJF-dZ7J4GHVClpkRv90udKkby1YxTsQUYSUCFRyP235Ssrj0rT_yBbQtt-zAHSBT0UN5WXn0WXK_qdGgoky4CTkJGTNgBFq6FUrWz5ZPkjpwksjtqdkoZhFdP8k/s1600/IMG_7518.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br /><br /></div>

<br />so much has happened since going (t)here<br />
mostly stuff that I can't really throw into a blog post<br /><br />community grief, personal challenges<br /><br />and of course still more sport than you can shake a hockey stick at <br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br /><br />rather than wait until there is a moment free<br />
I thought I'd share some recent pics (without the talky-talky)<br />from 'being (t)here' and being home...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVY5cRrkwNd3TTi_j3LiR304qbWIcAzkaxcDX3-ozjtmiEC-WEMd2k_3R-YN05Q8RQIth67xeHXmS2UIY-_1j6TIrSvNnWILzKtLLTor6WEz5eobMRxP2yDA8uLq9Wrjnqtg9JDIkzA8A/s1600/IMG_6020.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVY5cRrkwNd3TTi_j3LiR304qbWIcAzkaxcDX3-ozjtmiEC-WEMd2k_3R-YN05Q8RQIth67xeHXmS2UIY-_1j6TIrSvNnWILzKtLLTor6WEz5eobMRxP2yDA8uLq9Wrjnqtg9JDIkzA8A/s640/IMG_6020.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

<br />This time last week <br />I was driving/flying/driving <br />my way from my home by a small creek<br />to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/margariteandrosa/" target="_blank">this home</a> by a bigger creek...</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
to spend 4 days (of a 5 day workshop) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the amazing <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prophet_of_bloom/" target="_blank">prophet-of-bloom</a> herself<br /><br /><a href="https://prophet-of-bloom.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">India Flint</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a workshop with the title<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.indiaflint.com/page28.htm" target="_blank">'being (t)here'</a><br />a site-specific masterclass about being in place </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now anyone who knows anything about India would know <br />that 'workshop' is not really the best way to describe <br />what spending time with this natural wonder really entails ...<br />its more 'multi-faceted experience' than simply a workshop.<br /><br />and anyone who knows anything about me would know <br />what an extraordinary feat it is for me to get anywhere these days .... <br />and to go far far away doing something just for myself is.... <br />wellllllllll.... <br />unheard of!<br /><br />I'll share a few pics of my time in the next wee while <br />because I'm mindful that words and pics don't really capture <br />what is at the core of art-making and word-wrangling in place <br />with a gathering of what India calls 'stitch sisters'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still digesting the feast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />and rather than describe every morsel in detail <br />I think I'll just give you a small taste of things<br />(by-the-by)<br /><br /><br />I've been on quite a journey this week<br /><br /><br /> it has been the best way to launch myself into the next half-tonne of my life</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like many of my book projects --- this project started with teeny tiny scrap paper models.... <br /><br />it took a few scrappy bits until I hit upon the form that I thought might work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
its a variation of a pocket concertina</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been invited to create special projects <br />
for the opening (next weekend) of the new<br />
<a href="http://www.begavalley.nsw.gov.au/cp_themes/default/page.asp?p=DOC-GPH-51-45-16" target="_blank">Tura Marrang library and community centre</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I've created a community book-page origami boat activity called </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
'what book floats your boat?'<br />
<br />
this is based on images of my many book-page origami boat activities</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(like 'Navigo' - gosh can you believe this is from 2007-8? where has the time gone?!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />Library patrons of all ages will be encouraged to create book-page origami boats <br />
and perhaps tuck a little note inside telling a personal tale (or three) <br />
about what books mean to them<br />
<br />
maybe they will share the name of their favourite author or book?<br />
<br />
maybe a secret guilty book pleasure?<br />
<br />
perhaps a moment where a book changed their life?<br />
<br />
<br />
it will be fun to see what folk make of it <br />
as the activity is designed to challenge the notion <br />
of the preciousness and purpose of books in the digital age<br />
<br />
(oh - and it will be loads of fun!) <br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes -- I promise I'll share some install pics as the project develops <br />and the created origami books are added to display cases in the library space<br />
<br /><br />
I'm also installing a couple of my looooooooooooooooooooong books... <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
(pics will follow I promise)<br />
<br />
AND<br /><br />I've been creating a small video work <br />I've titled 'oh books - you light my fire'<br />developed from this series of book/fire/water ephemeral works from 2010...<br />

instagram makes sharing and interacting so easy - <br />no downloading, resizing, uploading, arranging etc etc ---- wheeeeeee <br />(which of course means I've been neglecting this space somewhat)<br /><br />I've dropped a few things in here so those not on IG (or farcebook) <br />know I'm alive and well (and flexing my ephemeral arty muscles again!)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
and here's the lovely Melinda Smith giving the one minute overview of the project </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(gosh didn't our table get unruly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there were so many people pouring over the work - things got a bit all over the place)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
meanwhile, in a darkened small room not very far away </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was ensconced for most of the day, supposedly making sure the projector/computer/etc behaved itself </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the debut of our ceiling projection....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ooo how I wish I had managed to get a photo of our space --- </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just days before the work was to be presented Melinda did a reckie </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and noticed that the ceiling in the space was totally useless for a projection </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- there was a fan, 2 enormous fluoro lights and lined boards.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
EEEEEEK! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
panic!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not to be defeated, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Melinda and I rapidly built our own little space within the space -- </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using a garden gazebo, steel buckets with creek rocks, stretched painters drop cloth </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and lots and lots of squishy pillows! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it all turned out marvellously </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent almost all the day talking to lovely folk </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who were all reclining on squishy cushions and looking up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Melinda spent almost all the day talking to lovely folk </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dropping by the table at the indie publishing fair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FUN! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(but utterly exhausting..... )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then it was time to pull it all down and drive home and home again....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
soon we hope to find an online space to share some of the printed cards.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep telling you how wonderful the poetry is so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really really REALLY will have to SHOW you what I mean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(how's this for serendipity -- </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I reached into the box of 366 cards and pulled out the card of the projected piece above) </div>

#LookUP - a collaborative work with <a href="https://melindasmith.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">poet Melinda Smith</a>. </blockquote>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
#LookUP started its life as my daily moment of sky time which I shared right here every day of 2015.... the project then grew into something else when Melinda wrote the most exquisite words in response to each (and I can say that because I have read each of her jewel-like responsive micro poems)... And THEN the project took another turn when we came together to discuss what might become of our pictures and words... a published book? an artist's book? e-book? self-published affair? a poetry reading? a slideshow? (actually Melinda DID do a poetry reading/slideshow from the work last year, even before the year ended -- called 'all the seventeenths' she presented the picture/poem combination from the 17th day of each month... it was delicious and buckets of fun) or maybe we could do something else? </blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As we bounced ideas off each other we soon both came to fall in love with the idea of individual postcards (perhaps of our favourite pieces?) -- and before long that idea rapidly grew into a series that contained a postcard for every. single. pic/poem combo. <span style="text-align: center;"> </span></blockquote>

But that didn't seem enough for us </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no --- we both liked the idea of projecting the works, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and one of us (I'm not going to say who.... ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
got the bright idea of projecting the works onto the ceiling (someone shoot me!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the past few months I've been preparing 366 little pieces of individual artwork </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and painfully loading each one to the press... shoot me!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as making a projection piece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(shoot me!)</div>

<br />I found an old hand-lettered 'A' calligraphic piece in one of my plan drawers<br />(circa 1996 perhaps?)<br /><br /><br /><br />and then looked out my back door to the courtyard gate <br /><br />-- and what do you know</div>

there's a 'Z' <br /><br />and I didn't have to do anything other than raise my batphone<br /><br /> and tap the screen<br /><br /><br />(and that's what actually interests me the most in my wonky little project<br />- finding letters in the ordinary parts of the day, snapping them and making them mine<br />then sharing them in an arena - just because I can)<br /><br /><br /><br />I've started with the beginning and the ending of the alphabet.... <br />now I only have to find the middle bits<br /><br />simples<br /><br />yes?<br /><br /><br /><br />feel free to find/tag/send letters that you might find going about your life<br /><br />#abecedary2016 <br /><br />@book_ronnie<br /><br /><br />just because you can <br />(nope I don't have any more plans other than that <br />lets see what happens together shall we?)<br /><br /><br />...</div>

The year of the <b>abecedary</b> is all about reconnecting to my past life in letters. So this year I'm going out into the world actively looking for the letters of the alphabet.... the more gnarly and obscure, tattered and torn, obscure and ephemeral the better! I'm particularly on the look out for handwritten snippets -- maybe I'll find some wonky letters on hand written signs... maybe I'll find some on beaten up posters... scratched into cement or wood... perhaps I'll decipher some letters in seaweed arranged by the waves on a beach.... </blockquote>

... and of course I have a whole studio and past life in letters to drawn from... so I'm thinking that a year of ABCs just might give me an excuse to show you some bits from waaaaaaaaaay back (like many calligraphers I have something of a collection of hand drawn ABCs - a ready made <b>abecedary</b>!)

Perhaps the <b>abecedary</b> will provide a good reason to go through my drawers of type and produce a type specimen book of all the typefaces in my collection --- for the uninitiated, the type specimen book is a classic example of an <b>abecedary</b> -- type specimen books were a common item of type foundries and printers as they demonstrated the range and quality of type on hand. I love letterpress type specimen books (particularly the ones that contain weird and wonderful ligatures, ampersands and display capitals in a type set) </blockquote>

I've learned quite a few things about my art process over the past few years of photographic, ephemeral, online arty interactions and of course I'm bringing all that to this adventure. I know that I like spontaneous, informal, humble and uncomplicated photography with minimal equipment and post-production. I enjoy the thrill of the chase -- finding things in unexpected places and/or creating unexpected combinations. I love working with found and salvaged objects and creating temporary artyworks that I can share freely. I love the process of art making (I'm not so much in love with arty world shenanigans). I like having a basic framework to work within but one that has lots of flexibility to encourage freedom of expression... I like to zig and zag all over the place! That means I'm going to let the year of the <b>abecedary</b> evolve naturally
and I'm not going to make a whole lot of promises or deadlines or
rules (other than 'there shalt be letters'). </blockquote>

The year of the <b>abecedary</b> will principally be an instagram project --- although I'm still finding my way in the IG world I felt an instant connection to all things instagrammalandish --- I love the immediacy, the ease of uploading and sharing, the hashtags and the ease of connecting posts from IG to my facebook page... oh yesssss IG is just right for the year of the <b>abecedary</b>. When I find me them thar letters I can throw them out into the universe straight away... wheeeeeeeeeeee! and I can keep throwing things into the ring in rapid succession
whack, thwack, whackity thwack! or I can hold off for days (or more) and
just present one. little. pic. at. a time. </blockquote>

Lets see where it takes us shall we<br />

(I say 'us' because if you are on instagram <br />
perhaps you'd like to throw some things into the <b>abecedary</b> too? <br />
<br />
just use <br />
<br />
<b>#abecedary2016 </b><br />
<br />
or alert me to things with<br />
<b>@book_ronnie </b><br />
<br />
and that way I can find <br />
(and maybe, with your blessing, regram)<br />
your <b>abecedary</b> offering to the world?)<br />
