I am interested in seeing any object and working out whether it can be made into a book; whether it be something I see in any junk shop, or items I am about to throw out or even objects I find in our local woodlands or on the beach.
Something I have been wanting to do for a while is to create journals from discarded Cigar Boxes. It would be my way of acknowledging the 'forgotten' and the 'unknown', those talented artists that designed the exquisite panels.
