Statement

While taking an MA in printmaking in the late lamented print department at Winchester School of Art, I was introduced to the concept of artist's books. The opportunity to both write, illustrate and make a book was very attractive. Having worked in educational publishing I relished the opportunity of satirising the world of textbooks and manuals.
