Notes:
Artist's book. Comprises seven cut-paper leaves bearing botanical designs (including front cover and back pastedown). The leaves are attached to accordion-folded stubs. Text printed on the back pastedown is an excerpt of dialogue from the film I know where I'm going.
"My starting point is always some text. The inspiration for many of my pieces comes from a 1945 film called 'I know where I'm going' (Powell & Pressburger). The film script, characters, cinematography and film structure influence my work--bits of the script trickle into my pieces, snippets of dialogue, forming and reforming, taking on new meaning and telling different stories. I use half-remembered lines of songs and poems too, so that text forms an integral part of many of my pieces, shaping their form in the process. I also turn to the landscape around me in Northumberland for imagery, using drawing as an essential part of my work process."--Artist's statement.
