Eavesdropping: the Frustrated Narrative.

Microbilia - a collection of minute, insignificant yet unique incidents. The idea was that the small moments would not be imbued with a false sense of significant. A failed project in the sense that small print manipulates the reader, concise writing if poetic, archival paper lasts near 300 years.

Foreword by Dr Virginia Nightingale.
Materials: archival paper and hard covers.

More Microbilia - a collection of minute, insignificant yet unique incidents, following on from Microbilia.

Materials: Hard cover, cloth spine, paper, stab binding.

The Book of Dark Pages by Nora Fleming -engages in an ironic and mischievous way with a pompous passage of aesthetic ideas between the generations.Text contemplates Line as a formal drawing element yet gives the reader faux insights. The relationship between text and images is random while sounding aphoristic. The form of the book is based on a 19th century reader or instructive picture book. Nora Flemin represents the editor or observer who "sits on the shoulder" of the artist at all times.
Foreword by Dr Richard Read
