BABE 2021 and Eve's Diner: a work in progress. 
​Bristol Artists' Book Event, in response to the restrictions of Covid, is hosting a 'lost weekend' version of BABE this year. Over 100 videos by artists and small presses have been made and will be launched on April 16th, they will be available on youtube and archived after the event. My film,  Eve's Diner; a work in progress,  will be on elf the videos. The book imagines Eve, having left the Garden of Eden by choice to explore this world, as the proprietor of a diner with a very special menu.

This is the 700th year since Dante's death and the artists John McDowell and Sophie Loss, with Rhiannon Daniels and Tristan Kay, academics with the Department of Italian in the University of Bristol, are planning a series of events to take place in October 2021.

World Book Night 2021, The Herbarium.  
“With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?” Oscar Wilde. Contributing artists were invited to create a flower image in response to a poem, book or other text referencing flowers. The inspiration for my flower is a 1930's detective novel, The Beckoning Lady ​by Margery Allingham. 

Postcards for Perec.
Artist Linda Parr has organised this international response to Georges Perec's ‘Two Hundred and Forty-three Postcards in Real Colour’. Dedicated to his fellow writer Italo Calvino, the postcards' messages were originally published in list form with no images. Participants are creating colour postcards in response to specific messages, I have contributed three cards. There will be an exhibition later this year.

An update on my collaboration with Dr Sian Prosser, librarian at the Royal Astronomical Society, London and Creativity & Curiosity; Conversations between Artists and Astronomers: 
In 2018 I was invited  to join C&C in research at the Royal Astronomical Society Library, London. My research and  work was funded by an Arts Council Lottery Grant and facilitated by Dr Sian Prosser, Librarian and Archivist at RAS. The initial outcome was three small artists' books a number of prints and then, in collaboration with Dr Prosser, the large book work, inspired by the library itself,  Measuring The Heavens, 2020.  All the work was exhibited at An Lanntair, Stornoway, and a presentation given at The Hebridean Dark Skies Festival in February 2020.
An article on Measuring the Heavens, written by Dr Sarah Bodman, was published in Printmaking Today in Summer 2020 and a podcast made of Dr Prosser and myself in conversation with Dr Angie Butler of the Centre for Fine Print Research, part of the series Print in Conversation. ​The books and print can be seen on this website.
