I am an artist and have been making books since the late 1980's.
B.A. (Art History) Univ. Qld. 1991
Studies in Art History and a passion for illuminated manuscripts and artists books led to further art studies and a focus on the sculptural and visual possibilities of books as art reflecting their content and meaning.

Thanks for the add Helen. And Townsville, that is where I take my ETS exhibition to next April! Applied to Umbrella Studio and was accepted into the Main Space. It will be 3 hours of travelling to get it there, as you would well know having been born and spent your early childhood there. Do you ever go back there?
Relating this back to 'artistbooks' the exhibition evolved from my 'artist book of threads'. I have been incubating the idea of touring the work even further south but where, time slotting, the tieranny of distance and costs are some of the initial issues that this isolated independant artist has yet to deal with.
Its great to meet you here anyway and love your works Textured.txt 2007 and Battle Within sml. Very clever.
Cheers
Kerryn
