Ok after many months of working on a collaboration project with write/artist Sue Hutton, we are finally getting it together, six of the images are nearing completion and sue has provided short stories for each. The aim is to create another seven works with text and then self publish the finished product. this will be an ARTIST BOOK and should not be considered as anything other, there are a lot of people and even those organisers of art prizes who have no understanding of what an artist book is, some seem to think is to do with book binding, or altered books, and or photo books. Lots of crafty looking hand bound books are being mistaken for an actual artist book. This is a book that contains original images and text specifically created for the purpose of making and printing a book made by artists. Watch this space.
A Book for Christine Turner
Christine Turner has been a breath of fresh air in the arts in Bundaberg Queensland. For many years she has worked in the area of painting, recycled assemblage, installations, computer art and animation, she has inspired so many young artists to take up art. Chris has been a focal point in the arts not just as an artist but also as a gallery manager, curator and community arts worker. With the establishment of Dirty Linen an independent gallery space, Christine provided a suitable venue for young and emerging artists and without restrictions she provide a platform, for artists, poets and musician. Sadly Christine is moving to Brisbane so with the closure of Dirty Linen, Bundaberg has lost an alternative art space but hopefully Christine will continue her arts practice well into the future. The artist books featured, is a collaboration by Beryl Kitching, Sue Hutton and myself and was presented to Christine as a gift.
