Architecture
Stephanie Turnbull
Linocut 4/10

Steph

Unusual choice for a girl from Wales, Stephanie's linocut sweeps up and beyond the book covers to form the shapes of the Harbour Bridge with the sails of the opera house in the foreground.  Printed in the cool colour of steel, this book this is a strong work and is well suited to the subject of architecture.

Tic Tac

Tictac, 'some windows never open' mixed media, 5/10
Textural paper with large open windows cut and folded over to form the book, gives the appearance of building material. Large areas are cut to form windows, but are blocked by what appears to be framed photographs with a misty outlook, embellished with black and red markers, the works takes on a mysterious air. Well constructed and thought out book.

Cinzia

Cinzia  'Zoot and flight' eight house shape float across  a text filled background, the tan colour of the shapes contrast well against the white of the background. There are numerous notes and scribbles hand written on the shapes, indicating architectural notes. The building shapes appear to fly across the page, getting smaller as they disappear into the distance. A simple but elegant format that suggests something   else is going on here.

'Lindisfarne' 9/9

Depicting  buildings on the holy island of Lindisfarne, (located North West of England). Using lithography, collagraph and text, the book is divided into six arches, three with text, two blocked and one open. The texture of the red arches beautifully depicted, as is the worn sandstone with its blue green patina formed over time  by the sea and wind.  Presented in the arches are short notes that describe a past era, a quite place where monks painted on parchment, the next hints at the  many viking raids and the last to a place of reflection. A well made and beautiful book.
