While in the college library last week I indulged in a morning of reading some of the art magazines. The New Bookbinder had an article on two artists who worked with paper rather than text. One is Clare Bryan, whose wonderful white books of trees I'd seen when doing her summer school course at West Dean -The other is Tracey Bush, who has done a series of works on the river Thames, starting with the embossed example on the left -
The embossing is done using Somerset paper and a collagraph plate, built up of layers of card, in an etching press.
