new additions


Two concertina books form the latest additions to a series of books I am working on based around the idea of the domestic space and wishes.

The title "A Room Of One's Own" is not a reference to the famous book by Virginia Woolf, but in fact a literal reference to a longing for my own personal space.

"Occasional Quiet" is self explantory.



The text comes in two forms but from the same source. One is letter-pressed and one is typed on the typewriter.
The text itself comes from a previous book I made entitled "The Dream House" - a list of all the things, material possessions and otherwise, that I would have in my ideal home.



Text is coupled with images of student filth. I will admit to using old images for this, as it was just an experiment. I will also admit that the photos were taken in a house I lived in last year.
My intention with this work is firstly to include something that will offset the "twee-ness" of the writing, and also to introduce some images that will truly show the reasons behind my longing for domestic perfection.
