DisBound is a bookbinding term that means to remove the book pages from its bindings. Disbound should not be confused with unbound, which, is a bookbinding term used to describe pages that were never bound to begin with. Disbound was also the title of my solo exhibition at Harcourt House
My books are disbound and immersed in hot beeswax. In this state, I can distort and manipulate the shape; apply additional objects, vintage dressmaker patterns or paper.
This series is a direct result of a breakthrough I had when I Burnt Down the House.
