My tour of the artist books gathered on the studio table in my recent
blog post concludes with
Tattooed Faces, 1996, the first artist book I ever made.
Tattooed Faces evolved during the course of my MA research, beginning with
Tattooed Face Number 1, which is
pictured below, followed by further selected page views.
In many ways, it feels as if I’ve now come full circle, as evidenced by my current works, the
Decorated Women. (See
HERE,
HERE and
HERE). Still very much in progress, the works are earmarked for a solo exhibition at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery in late 2024.
Tattooed Faces and the Moth Woman Press publications I’ve been documenting on this blog of late were recently delivered to Stephen McLaughlan Gallery for the exhibition
Artist Books & Folios. I’m leaving for 5 weeks in the UK on September 14, so although I’m excited for the exhibition, I won’t actually get to see it. But I do hope you’ll have a chance to drop by before it ends its run on October 7. Your invitation is below.
