Artist's book project

These are some of the images that will be used for part of my artists book project. The photographs were taken by my father while he served in the army during the Vietnam war. At this point of the project I'm thinking of printing the war era images onto transparent paper, and then juxtaposing these images over images that I took myself when I holidayed in Vietnam in 2008.

Nicholas Jones on Artscape

I caught the recent episode of Artscape on ABC. A segment of the program featured Nicholas Jones, an artist who does some amazing reimagining of abandoned and discarded books, giving them a new life as works of art in their own right. His segment was of interest as we have an assignment coming up later this semester, in which we will have to create our own "artist book". Thanks Nicholas for the inspiration!
