Notes

When asked about the project, Judith Mason replied:

"Artists’ books appeal to me because they are artworks which in some way involve the manner in which books both enclose and disclose their contents, and require the action of the reader in paging through the work. Such books can have text, but usually the format, imagery and idiosyncratic bindings and materials are at least as important as the written work. Editions are usually very small, and often only single books are produced. The concept is the most important thing, and originality of execution and idea are paramount. A love of books of any kind, and the opportunity to make something which is readable, playful and unique is the attraction for most book artists. It is also often a good way of escaping the limitations of language and producing something accessible to everybody."¹
