Catriona Stamp
"My work is inspired by the natural world and by my spiritual relationship with it.
My artists' books allow me to explore many themes, ranging from the personal and social to the ecological, from dream and myth to journeys through the landscape. The books’ small scale encapsulates for me both the preciousness of the world we inhabit as well as the fragmentary and partial view which we have of it. Although the illustrations may be created in a variety of media, the books are integrated by the interplay between words, illustrations and structure.
So a book about Silverdale may be stick-bound with a cover of silver birch bark; a book about a woman’s relationship with her body may be composed of torn paper fragments; and reflections on butterflies may scroll out from a papier-mache chrysalis.
At the moment I use computer printing technology for final production, but I am intending to start using screen-printing for some book production."
