** German Customers: Aufgrund des in 2019 in Kraft getretenen Verpackungsgesetzes kann ich Waren leider nicht mehr an Adressen in Deutschland versenden!**
I am a German living in Nottingham, and the story is about a part-Mexican living in Sheffield, so it's not my story. But it is born out of my personal story, seeing my children growing up and struggling with their identity.

Full description
This listing is for one copy in my handmade open edition of my artist book "Folklorico".
The text is a story written by myself in the form of a movie script: Isabella, a girl from Sheffield with a (part) Mexican background and the ambition to become a professional dancer, drags herself from rejection to rejection to a fight with her parents whether this is a valid career at all. But then her late grandmother's request from the grave to meet up a Folklorico instructor changes everything.
The development of the book went through several stages:
1st I wrote the story itself
2nd I made a series of screenprinted mono prints to generate the background for the pages with colours and patterns inspired by those used in central America
3rd I learned to weave bands typical for Central and South America
4th I printed the text and collaged it onto the background images
5th I made a first one of a kind original book, using sewn together bands and the original collaged pages
6th I scanned all that.
Now to make your copy in this open edition, I print the pages, and the covers on a firmer paper, and then hand-bind every book.
The finished book is of approximately A6 size, and has 120 pages.
language: mostly English with some Spanish phrases
Each copy comes packed in a protective sleeve.
