Here are some of the projects I have worked on.
Artist’s Books
Heidi Fourie’s Artist Book Grass You Can Swim In is a limited edition publication produced in collaboration with the artist and Ame Bell of David Krut Publishing. This collectable 56-page publication is a limited edition run of 60.
The Binding consisted of 4 signatures bound together with an exposed, black thread, kettle stitch. Giving the look of an industrial-sewn exposed spine. The cover was made from a 300gsm Wild Sand paper with black foiling.
To purchase a copy please contact David Krut Bookstore.
Artist’s book by Johan Stegmann. This limited edition book was made from print. The print was folded in a certain way so that the entire print could turn into a book.
This unique artist book also acted as an exhibition proposal book made for artist Jake Michael Singer
It is one of the largest Coptic stitch books I’ve made so far, with over 30 Coptic stitches. It has an embroidered cover with screen-printed titles. There is so a pop-up element to the book made to illustrate the project.
Enclosures
Pocket Portfolio
This custom-made organizational portfolio measure just 12 x 12.5cm and contains an accordion placeholder designed to hold small lists.
Made from acid-free black card stock, with a black brillianta bookcloth on the cover and on the sides of the accordion for strength. The cover is adjustable to accommodate for the growing portfolio.
A print portfolio I made for the Meta Foundation. It was made to house a set of 10 prints made for the exhibition The problem with African contemporary art is…?
Clamshell Box
An enclosure like a clamshell box is one way to store books and objects in an archival manner keeping them safe from dust and sunlight.
This custom enclosure was made for a collectable, signed, William Kentridge book. Similar to artworks, artist books are just as valuable within a collection and therefore need to be cared for as you would an artwork.
Album
This custom-made photo album was made with 60 sheets of 25 x 35cm Munken Lynx 240gsm paper. The album also includes guards, to account for the bulk of the photographs will add. Along with archival acid-free interleaves to protect them over time.
The cover is made using a hand-marbled sheet of paper with a black foiling label. The perfect wedding gift!
