for Counter: Plymouth Artists’ Book Fair at Plymouth Art Centre, October 19 2014 bibliophile will have its third occurrence. this instance of bibliophile is coordinated by Mark Leahy and Steven Paige

a number of artists, writers and performers who work with or use text, language and/or voice have been invited to contribute a short piece of work for the page. the theme for this instance of bibliophile is voice / score / text, and calls for work that considers these terms, their relations, and how they might be presented on an A4 or A5 page in black and white.

keeping to a ‘just-in-time’ model, the bibliophile publication will be made on the day, in the space at Plymouth Arts Centre. a basic laser printer will be used, and standard copy paper. individual contributions will be collated, and visitors on the day will have the option to purchase a bound copy of the collected work. coloured card wrappers and a simple binding method will be used.

I recently wrote a short piece for Jon Stein’s Blog. He is inviting a number of people to write for a series titled Words Music and Me, and mine is the second to be uploaded. The piece includes notes on some of my recent work, and I discuss a sense of becoming aware of language and words as a child, and how this has contributed to my ongoing fascination with text, voice and performance.

Gertrude Stein is mentioned in the piece, and I included this great image of her attending a Balmain fashion show, taken by Horst (and that’s one of the series of poodles named Basket sitting by her).

as part of my work for Redefining Print I have been trying out making cut and folded objects from photoetched prints; the aim is to make paper objects that can make noise, and these prototypes are based on nose flutes … they don’t make much noise yet, but they keep their shape nicely;
