I felt that i wanted some pieces which could go on the wall at the show as my main pieces were book arts based. I have to confess that i bought the frames first then considered what was going to go in them. I found the frames in charity shops as i wanted them to all be different but wanted to maintain a level of continuity.
One of the bookmarks i had found was an English revision sheet based on 'A Shepherd's Life' by W.H. Hudson. I really liked this one as it is typed on a typewriter and a type error in it has been fixed by hand.
I managed to find a really lovely copy of 'A Shepherd's life' at work and felt that it would be nice to photograph the book in a setting appropriate to it's content and display it alongside the revision sheet. I felt the image looked odd stood alone so i decided to create another set of images based on a bookmark i found, also revision based, in 'A First Book of French Poetry'. I used an old map of Paris as the backdrop for this image and photographed the objects together with the view that they would be displayed alongside each other.
