Handmade Artist ‘s Books, 2004-6
All artwork on this website is Copyright Rachel Marsden © 2009
When making a book, it is produced with the intention of being a hidden piece of art, together with having a practical function. The books are to be used, changed, altered and personalised to symbolize its owner, introducing their own artistic intervention and act as a collaborator. The pages are produced from recycling and re-pulping materials such as old book pages and photographs, bound and covered by traditional methods and materials. Ultimately, it is an evolutionary process of book-making with unknown and infinite conclusions and hidden embedded stories.
Handmade books and paper are available to order and can be commissioned. Contact me for further details.
