the processes

WALLPAPER?
For the December 2001 exhibition wallpaper? Mark Pawson wallpapered the
interior of the Tatty Devine shop with unusual and unlikely materials in a why-dont-you
try-this-at-home approach to interior decoration. The limited edition wallpaper? catalogue has a
unique cover
made up of 12 mini books which open at different angles and contains samples of
all the materials
used for wallpaper?; post-it notes, pizza menus, postcards, gallery floor-plans,
braille hymnbooks,
plug wiring diagrams and more together with texts, photos of the completed
installation and
original diagrams & sketches.
Feb 2002 Signed, numbered edition of 24 copies, 21 x 28 cm,
184pgs, handsewn.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This book is a by-product of the badge making process, the perforated pages are the waste
material left after printed paper discs to be made up into badges have been cut out.
The overlay
of multiple circle grids reminds me of dot screens and moire patterns,
foam rubber, Dieter Rots
books and childrens books with windows letting
you peep through to future pages.
Images are
minimal and incidental; notes and quantities in the margins, deleted or
misprinted badge art.
The differing circle layouts reflect changes in technologies
utilised, earlier designs were
photocopied, random layouts as badge artwork is slapped
on the copier glass, resized and
multiplied, Recent lazerprinted designs use a fixed
grid of 35 badge blanks -the optimum
ammount that fit evenly spaced on an A4 sheet of paper.
Its this fixed grid which gives the book
its title; oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
- thirty-five lower case round o's, not
oval-shaped capital Os or zeros.
21x29cm, thirty-five pages, hundreds of holes, handsewn,
signed & numbered edition of 300
copies

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.
I felt it was time to do something useful with it. This deluxe version features theft,
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
