PAPER SAMPLES BOOK
A collection of old patterned papers that I bought from
a printers intending to use them in book
projects. Seven years later most
of it is sitting unused on a shelf taking up space and gathering
dust.

sex, guns
and rolls of used ten pound notes!! (sort of...)
A larger version, with more pages and a lengthier
explanation! Feb 2002 14x14 cm 26pgs

MaPk nAbCoH
1989-99.
Random multiple overprints in black, red and blue onto unused billboard poster paper.
An intense visual barrage of overlaid images, textures and graphics-you can literally
feel the build-up of photocopier toner.
When I make these books, I have a pile of paper,
and a stack of black and white
collage originals and just keep putting the paper through
the photocopier over and
over again, overprinting until the depth and build-up of imagery
gets interesting.
21x15cm, 24pgs,Continuous production since 1989 Each copy unique.
(750+ paperback copies 15 Hardback)

1988 When I lived at 34 Cotesbach Road, I used sheets of billboard posters

through at points and picked
up the wood grain from the floorboards below,
when I moved house I used the paper to
made an edition of 34 books, which
were given to people who had visited or stayed at
the house and contributed
to the books by walking on the floor !
