About this item
This is a handstitched book which I have bound using Coptic stitch and white waxed linen thread. This style of binding (Coptic) allows the pages to open completely flat. The outside covers front and back are original monoprints, acrylic on paper, and based on an image of the gas tower in Reading, UK. The insides of the cover are plain black paper. Each of the signatures have a single folded black paper (135gsm paper), and all the other pages are white cartridge paper (140gsm). This book is in portrait orientation and is 15cm wide and 21cm high.

I love paper and I love making things, so making handmade books is the natural progression. I enjoy trying out different book structures and Coptic is one of my favourites to make. A parallel addiction is mono-printing and I've been inspired by a community art project to make prints based on the gas tower in Reading which is soon to be demolished.
