Artbook

I went to an fair of photobooks and artbooks and I realise that I want to give a home to all my drawing for the bocono project. I was not sure how I wanted to do it but I started to do some researh on banding to present artwork.

I was llokng for inspiration in how to present my work but also wanted to know how to create a simple book that can preserve the work inside. Here some of the artist and the book banding they suggest.

By Hedi Kyle Interview

She has many shapes and forms of books that are fascinating. They seemed like puzzles. In blog entry 23, you can have several examples of how the author plays with the bounds of buying. However, it was the simpler (in terms of binding) that I was interested in the picture above. It is the integration of a piece of work with a book that makes it interesting for me.

Picture by the artist

This artist is not working anymore (At least that is what it said on his website) but his work is fantastic. I love how he creates art in the form of books however, his boxes are fantastic. I do not know how to make them and I think this requires years of expertise but I wanted to have him on this list of book artists.

NEW EQUINOX LEAF BOOK

This is a display photo book that can be a beautiful ornament for the house because it can stand open and display your favourite photos without any particular care and the effect is awesome!  

It has space for four photos and it can stay open by itself at 180° maximum (it can phisically be opened wider than 180° but it'd need a pin to keep the two covers opened).

This model is made mixing different model I had chance to learn for super great teachers like Cor Aerssens, Cristina Balbiano d’Aramengo and Katinka Keus and the covers are made in Zaansch bord, a dutch hand made cloth paper producted in a windmill close to Amsterdam. This paper had been hand made decorated with pigments later and it's super strong and durable.

If you like this model you can purchase it in my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/518816737/display-photo-book
