I think the thing that most draw's Fiona and me to the artists' book, is that the artwork is experienced in such a different way. On a wall, everything is revealed at once. In a book, the slow reveal is tantalising. Thanks for the good wishes. xsusan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-22785523317858654762015-10-07T12:03:10.895+10:002015-10-07T12:03:10.895+10:00Thanks Mo.

I have a done a few layers of sugar lift and aquatint - not but choice initially but because I was not getting the result I wanted. Now I see that the repetition of process is actually quite interesting in its result, I will do more like this intentionally.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-58587701662490330522015-10-07T12:00:20.565+10:002015-10-07T12:00:20.565+10:00Thanks F.

Would like to say that any outcome at this point is a good one but you know that is not true - neither of us would be putting working forward if we weren't pleased with it!susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-19390992331808307192015-10-07T11:59:16.115+10:002015-10-07T11:59:16.115+10:00Thanks Barry.

That so many of your artist's books are "experiences" as much as books also really appeals to me, and while I imagine that to be able to sit with the books in person is even more satisfying, I do find the photos to be very evocative & inspiring. Beautiful work!<br />Good luck finishing your preparations for the exhibition...Arzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-13520071371728425182015-09-25T14:47:09.719+10:002015-09-25T14:47:09.719+10:00such beautiful markssuch beautiful marksMo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-44216304623514691962015-09-24T19:55:35.575+10:002015-09-24T19:55:35.575+10:00Another wonderful outcome!
