thevenerablebede





i have been creating work for some time which looked at the hand in relation to the book but my recent submersion into the world of 1400 – 1500 paintings has led me back to the book itself. combined with ideas around a bookwork i am creating for the sunderland book project http://culturgen.ning.com/profiles/blogs/open-call-for-submissions-the which has as its focus a quote from the venerable st bede http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bede . this recent body of work has at its core the elimination of all but the books and will be printed within a bookwork and as full size (the size of the original paintings) prints.
