The Spineless Wonders project recently provided an inspiring introductory bookbinding workshop, leading me to continue exploring the art structures identified as artist books. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1736275981465-1ON0G37IZ6X55B83KVK2/20250106-Etching-2_web.jpg Blog - Work in Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1736275981498-2Y32RQ13Z6ZM2JPAHZ84/20250106-Etching-1_web+%281%29.jpg Blog - Work in Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1736275982942-8Y9IC4PI8B8CEDHP2L1Y/20250106-Etching-3_web.jpg Blog - Work in Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1736275983147-99ID4SO4WD4TDZ7H05Y3/20250106-Etching-4_web.jpg Blog - Work in Progress https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/60510705-41b8-4759-9027-dd2a8719c9b5/20250107-Making-book_web.jpg Blog - Work in Progress So far, I’ve made samples of a back-to-back pamphlet, which has taught me about ‘section making’ and sewing three-hole pamphlets.

In this book, she interprets artworks in which the body is in parts or cut off by the edge of the frame. Traditional readings of such artworks suggest suffering, predominantly from war or political acts. The modern understanding of fragmentation has become sexualised, suggesting what is beyond the frame. Linda asks questions: ‘What of the larger implications of the topic, what of the sense of social, psychological, even metaphysical fragmentation that seems to mark modern experience, a loss of wholeness, a shattering of connection, a destruction or disintegration of permanent value that is so universally felt in the nineteenth century as to be often identified with modernity itself?’(p23-24) https://www.lisabird.art/blog/printmaking-at-gwernyfed-high-school monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1734263223592-G9P921T3L6CQZWHDN08R/20241214-SChool-Building_web+%281%29.jpg Blog - Printmaking at Gwernyfed High School - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1734263592136-07BL298N8Q0AZ7WWTFDM/20241215-School-Photo-3_web.jpg Blog - Printmaking at Gwernyfed High School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1734263569678-HGXF4QB9QN7D5ENDSMVB/20241215-School-photo-1-_web.jpg Blog - Printmaking at Gwernyfed High School https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1734263580481-HGPGMTL60I59N8JRNKCP/20241215-School-Photo-4_web.jpg Blog - Printmaking at Gwernyfed High School https://www.lisabird.art/blog/blog-post-one-d8md3 monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/02157180-0353-429a-ad7a-7cfbf3f64ed0/IMG_5676_web.jpg Blog - In the Print Studio with Paul Croft We selected an ink that I’ve never used: Hawthorn Printmakers Stone Litho Ink—Extra Dense Black, Paul’s current favourite lithography ink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/5a5ea949-5e53-4c2c-b080-6548e4ac802f/IMG_5677_web.jpg Blog - In the Print Studio with Paul Croft - We then set up the J Greig & Sons Edinburgh Lithography press, temporarily modifying the press bed to prevent the lino plate from slipping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1731054236740-EWI0FHEPM4ZRL2V6Q56H/IMG_5680_web.jpg Blog - In the Print Studio with Paul Croft https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1731054433759-OWLU69ROVA5ACNUA29LQ/IMG_5681_web.jpg Blog - In the Print Studio with Paul Croft https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1731054248251-DSVDRK5AMSYO4WVDC0A7/IMG_5682_web.jpg Blog - In the Print Studio with Paul Croft https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/54d99600-ae5c-48f8-b6cf-130a7c20cfb7/IMG_5698_web.jpg Blog - In the Print Studio with Paul Croft - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lisabird.art/blog/blog-post-two-n3s9y monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/11c99d33-c349-4667-a4fd-14fb3e24cab0/__web.jpeg Blog - Body Print Process Creating each printmaking plate is about so much more than just making marks with my body. To create this printmaking plate, I prepared the Lino and applied my mark-making medium to my body. Then, I sat for a while, taking the time to centre myself in meditation. My mark-making is about the energy I place onto the plate as much as the action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1732301887204-AY2OLR0W71JB6LPOTS13/_-7_web.jpeg Blog - Body Print Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1732301887354-RM67QWJEH9R0F2EWEPGA/_-4_web.jpeg Blog - Body Print Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/1732301888487-6WNMYJOQND3JZJOXAEV4/_-10_web.jpeg Blog - Body Print Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/42a4c1ab-288a-4b5f-808e-e9000c2e4cde/_-21_web.jpeg Blog - Body Print Process After the meditation with the plate, I return to my original sitting position and again take a moment to centre myself in that moment, knowing the process is complete. There seems to be a ritualistic meaning or intention in this way of creating the plate; I’m not sure why it has come about this way, but I’m sure I will understand this with time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6726278c4258b41a1dd7f3b4/f4192bc8-1437-4f96-885c-207e2b01b91c/_-22_web.jpeg Blog - Body Print Process - The plate is then covered with a layer of gum Arabic to etch for a couple of weeks.
