"Ossian" has just been sent off to England to be submitted to the Society of Bookbinders biennial competition. The book purported to be a translation of the works of the ancient Scottish poet Ossian whose works came to light through the research of one James MacPherson in first years of the 19th C.
Eventually it was proven that the whole thing was an elaborate forgery but nevertheless the poems remained popular and are still in print in the present day.
This is a "millimetre" style binding using narrow bands of leather along the head and tail edges and the spine and boards covered in one of my paste papers that I thought suggested mist- enshrouded Highland castles. There is even an anachronistic hint of plaid on the spine.

electronic bento box

Electronic Bento box was created for an exhibition sponsored by The Japanese Paper Place in 2006 called "The Power of Two". 14 artists were given a sheet of handmade Japanese paper and were asked to decorate it in the medium of their choice. The papers were then distributed to 14 other artists whose assignment was to use it in turn in their own medium.
The result was a show that ranged from furniture to a delicate little mobile. Electronic Bento Box employed a piece by Susan Low Beer who commented to me in passing that she thought it looked like an electric hedge. To me it suggested electronic sushi.
