Kate Moross

The line quality within this piece is so clear and precise. It really gives the piece a graphic appearance and I feel that the media used helps create this.

This piece is by Barbara Brown.
I like the way this piece works on so many levels and that is pushes the boundaries of the normal concertina book form. It is infact four books contained in one and appears to be quite a challenge to look through.
To begin with this book apears to be an average book form but when it is pulled out then we realise it is in fact a 3D form. It almost has that pop-up book apeal.
Two Metaphysical Three's
I really like the fact that two separate books are contained within one folded book. Its origami
form also adds that extra interest.
'Which came first...' by Pati Scobey
The fact that this piece is made up of numerous books creates interest in to what is actually contained inside. It makes the books appear more like an object that its is representing is form.
'Tablelands' by Tara Bryan.
This piece concertinas out from a compact little book, as it appears just to be a conventional book but when opened out it is revealed to us that its a long length landscape drawing.

Here's the fantastic new Italian limited commemorative edition of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea designed by Paolo Orsacchini. It's printed on waterproof paper and enclosed in a clear pouch filled with real sea water. Collectors can either bust it out of its original packaging, dry it under the sun and enjoy a classic read or they can preserve this limited piece in all its designed glory.
