A.M.D.G - Editioned Artists' Book

A.M.D.G. focuses on the materiality of the bookwork and its role in the book’s structure. The output is an artists' book which explores the tactile possibilities of combining intaglio and planographic printmaking within the book form. The artists' book is often held up as the democratic multiple by curators and critics where the use of traditional printmaking within the field of artists' books excluded from critical discourse. This book investigates how the integral properties of print processes can be used in combination to enhance the reader's tactile experience of the work. The printmaking process is therefore seen as a means of developing narrative, rather than as a means of adding value or rarity to the work.

Scans and a DVD have been presented in a portfolio form due to the limited edition of the work and in order to communicate something of the tactility of the processes and their importance in creating the unfolding narrative of the book.
