My response to our first theme of Open/Closed was to make a Chinese Thread Book. The ‘book’ contains a total of 13 different compartments that are revealed as you open each section

For the theme Open/Closed I chose the “Barbarians at the Gates” a project on the discourse on immigration, open or closed borders as well as the notions of borders.

This was a series of small books based on images of windows and doors in the Bloomsbury area of London.
Some open, some closed.

I had fun with a Turkish Map Fold book for this month’s theme. The irony is that even with her eyes open, my darling daughter can no longer see, having lost her sight to meningitis in March 2024.

This is Book Block 1; materials Somerset cotton printmaking paper grey, viscose embroidery thread
I loved the idea of a book that couldn’t be opened. This is made up of four books interleaved and sewn over tapes that create one long loop, that is woven together to create the ‘cage’.
