My First Pop-up
As many of you know, I spend a lot of time making artist's books, many of which feature collage and other techniques such as sewing, paper-cutting, etc. I recently made my first "mechanical" book for an exhibition down in Portland Oregon, and it was an interesting experience. Figuring out exactly how to engineer the pages and make them durable enough to stand up to handling was challenging, and I had to re-do several pages two and even three times to get it right. I ended up with a smallish (6.5" x 5") 25-page book, and materials included spray paint, magazine and book scraps, thread, plastic strips, ribbon, lace, wire, tissue paper party decorations and confetti stars. The mechanical features include: pop-ups, lift-tabs, slide-tabs, hidden doors and a volvelle wheel. The text focuses on the foibles of modern relationships: I manipulate you and you manipulate me...can we call it a relationship?

ReplyDeleteFascinating to see your pop-up book. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteBreath-taking. Amazing. And so gloriously tactile! That's something we miss out in our online scans of collages: the way the paper feels, the edges of the elements...
