| Background papers - monoprint layers by Toni Hartill |
An ongoing project I am working on is playing around with constructing little "books", along a theme looking at mangrove environments. I say "books" because I have no formal skills in bookmaking - don't look too close! I'm approaching it from a printmaking point of view of trying to express ideas through the use of printmaking processes and book-like constructions - although again I'm probably breaking all the rules of book construction.
But, yes, it's fun.
Good to take time to "play"
and to try not to be too precious!
And to see where it leads me....

| The landscape folds out of the book. The format is inspired by the old log books my grandfather, a surveyor, kept with all his field notes. by Toni Hartill |
I have quite a little collection amassing so I hope to exhibit them somewhere,
once I have worked through my many ideas.
Early days yet...
