I am off to China in a couple of weeks, so I am trying to get all my preparation completed. This involves organising my visit itinery and preparing material for the books I will create whilst I am doing a Red Gate Gallery artistic residency in Beijing (www.redgategallery.com). At this point I am thinking of calling the body of work I create "The Beijing Scrolls". However, the work might evolve differently and so the name may have to change.
At the end of October I will be having an open studio in Beijing showing some of the work I make during the residency. I will also be showing and discussing my work at the Beijing Bookworm (www.beijingbookworm.com). Currently, I am busy doing some screenprinting to incorporate in the books I make while in China.
I recently did a very interesting workshop with Elke Ahokas who showed me how to make Carolingian (about 9th Century) books. Here are two books I made.
