I am making Monthly Map books for the artist book genre exhibition 'HOME' at 153 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds that is curated by Louise Atkinson to coincide with the International Artists book Fair in Leeds. The Exhibition opens on the 11th of March and will be open until the 18th in a large Victorian House opening on Friday 11th of March 2011.
A lot of my work is related to intimate and domestic objects so it seems appropriate for this exhibition. I am working on Monthly Maps. These books will be based on source material gathered for a daily colour project in 2008 and 2009, where washing was colour coordinated when hung to dry and photographed. The source material covers august 2008 to April 2009. All months haven't been processed yet, but I anticipate making Monthly maps for August, September, November, December and April, with an edition of at least two so one could be on display in the exhibition and others for sale at the fair. They can be completely opened out and framed if wished.

These are going to be fantastic I think. I'm glad you managed to think of something for the Home event. Not long now!
