Artist's
Statement:
Withdrawn/Renewal
is the title of a collection of six book works, which carry the theme
and focus of the withdrawn library book. The books, which have been
used in this project, are from a selection of withdrawn books, found
on the withdrawn trolley at a London university: the London College
of Communication Library.
This project explores renewing the withdrawn book and continuing the
withdrawn book's life cycle through creating book forms, which have
been inspired by the withdrawn book's subject/title. Thus opening up
new meanings and new readings. We live in a throw away society and the
importance of this project is recycling and revitalising rejected objects
into regenerated new objects.
