Yesterday was a great day for me at the Book Fair, it was really inspiring for me. Having never been before it was a real surprise to see so many ways of making 'art' from books; some had taken on a totally different persona and were sculpture. Books with the inside cut into the shape of a bird and the shapes were then arranged on thin wire coming out of the book and flying away, I loved it! There was a burgundy book approx 5" x 8", quite thin with a plain cover and when you opened it the pages[ also burgundy] were plain but the centre ones were cut using a scalpel in the shapes of trees. It was beautiful and very delicate, the trees felt nice to the touch.
I was taking notes all the time and have little sketches of my favourites for reference
I have come away with the intention of making some and am amazed and also annoyed with myself for having never been before. This Fair takes place every year and next year we shall take part [ 2nd Years can submit work] so I shall look forward to it.
We are constantly surrounded by all this art around us and it can make you get a feeling of panic that you are missing something great. Seeing work like this really does make you want to dash off and produce something equally stunning.
Off now to read the Guardian, Goodbye.
