19th International Contemporary Artist Bok Fair, The Tetley Leeds 2016

 Carrie Scott Huby artist book exhibition, flanked by Derby & Leeds Students.
Generally, the students engaged well with the audience & customers.


Original one-off artist books combing wool & paper: using traditional processes felt, knitting, lino cut, watercolour. Nature & traditional materials are always an inspiration for example re-claimed slate roof tiles, Batley hessian, silk display board.

Collections of mixed-media printed books, re-cycled & re-claimed paper;
draw set work: items for sale in support of animal & forces charities.

Setting up at my collections of artist books at The Tetley, Leeds 5th & 6th March 2016.
The Tetley is an Art Deco office building for the old Tetley Brewery, (sadly no longer in existence).  the Art deco surround is in perfect harmony for my Utility inspired stylisation of artist Book Collections.

In all a beautiful, inspired weekend, visually & personally.  A hearty thank you for making a smoothly ran & very enjoyable event. csh

 ...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional  techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire .  Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent  with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape.  Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
