Vessels

Adele Outteridge started making artist’s books in 1989 using a variety of techniques and materials, from carefully hand-bound journals to books made from tea bags, bus tickets, old envelopes, metal and Perspex. She describes the experience of making books from transparent media such as Perspex, acetate or tracing paper: “the beauty…is that all the pages are visible and the whole book can be read at once, even when it is closed. The image or text appears to be suspended in space.”'
