Book box 'Christchurch'


Amy Gagnon is from Maine in USA. She is WWOOFing with us at the moment and is painting the 6 box dies red.

By carefully opening the book out from the box form you can read the contents easily. Lift the shrouds one by one and you will see the photographs of the aftermath of the
earthquake ravaged city. The little handful of broken tiles may be lifted out and placed on the unprinted page. The title page has been hand written and gives details on this particular artist book. A book box called 'Christchurch.'

Peel back the pages and look into the contents of the book. The uncovered photos are easy to see, the little pile of torn and smashed timber is easy to see, the shrouded photos need more investigation.

Lift the lid of the box a little way and peek into the box.

The coloured photographs have been sorced using google images and printed by my hp inkjet 5550 printer.

The title 'Christchurch' has been letterpress printed using a 36 point font similar to the lead type from the Homeprint collection, 'Christchurch'. This bold type reminds me of the roundness of the stone used in the old buildings of Christchurch.
