BOOK THINGS AND WORD WORKS
Victoria Bean, Clare Bryan, Andrew Carter,
Julie Cockburn, Carolyn Thompson

23 May – 14 June 2008

Book Things and Word Works is an exhibition that explores how artists use the form of the book as sculptural object, container and as the source material for text works.

The exhibition includes unique works on paper and cut -out books by Clare Bryan and Julie Cockburn, a sequence of punctuation mark poems by Victoria Bean (made as lithographic lenticular lenses) and a series of mixed media works by Carolyn Thompson, in which she cuts out and weaves together the lines of Shakespeare’s sonnets to form re-written texts.

The exhibition launches a new collaborative artists’ book ‘Twelve’ by the painter Andrew Carter and the poet Jonathan Ward. The book is published by the Grayling Press in association with the Eagle Gallery’s EMH Arts imprint, in a limited edition of 100 hand-printed copies (£150).
