Blue Moon Tides - artist book

This year for second year printmaking at NMIT our major task was to create an artist book.
I chose the theme of the moon and tides. I made 2 books - collographs mounted in  concertina books on Dutch etch 200 gsm paper.
This blue book cover is Indian hand made paper. The red moon tides cover is buckram.
I was fortunate to win  a generous prize donated by Magnani Papers Australia for which I am very grateful.







On the back of the pages are tide charts

Artisan Books

There is a display of artists books at Artisan Books in Gertrude St.
The exhibition is called OPUS.
Here are the details:

I have put in a concertina book titled 'A woman's work is never done' - on the theme of work.
One side is images of clothes - the other side is pages from Mrs Beeton's Book of Household management.
