Cardboard Press will be taking part in Summer Edition 2009. It is happening on Saturday 4th July in Filmbase, Temple Bar, Dublin. Its a fair for handmade books - artists books, comics and zines. Check out www.editionbookarts.com for more details. Fun fun fun!
Two Books About Forgetfulness is a handmade book in an edition of 10. There are two books that go together - Book of Dedications and On Losing Something. In Book of Dedications I took dedications pages from books and matched them with pencil drawn portraits of people I know. On Losing Something contains watercolour paintings of parts of rooms and prints of objects. I suppose its all to do with loneliness and memory.
Cardboard Press is just back from a successful whirlwind tour of the UK. We had a brilliant time and met loads of cool people. We visited ‘UK Web and Mini Comix Thing 2009′ in the East End of London and ‘BABE - Bristol Artists’ Book Event’ in lovely Bristol.
Some great reading and book appreciation took place.
