In 2020, Jonathon Oxlade and I made a varied edition of two books "Change Transform" . One of these was entered in the Manly Artist Book Award 2021 and now 2 years later we have both revisited the remaining book to make "Change Transform II". The book will be entered in HARD design show curated by Calum Hurley in Melbourne Design Week 18 -21 May.
This book follows the same condition that in making any change, nothing must be subtracted or cut off the original. However, in addition to folding, cutting and changing the shape of pages, we have made small additions to the pages by responding with thread or pigment to make marks that effect the change and transform the pages and provide a way of linking or seperating the pages.
The book also makes use of colour and form to focus and link different pages in a gentle, suggestive manner. The collaboration produced new, exploratory results that excited both of us.

An interesting collaborative book Jack. Love the wonderful surfaces you always create and the interesting structure that has evolved.
Always very stimulating when it works, sometimes it just doesn't.
Thanks for your commitment to making this blog so informative
