Deb Rindl

Artist books...
Our latest project is to collect 100 items and encorperate them into a book.
As part of my research I have spent some time looking into artist books and one of my favourites I came across was by the artist Deb Rindl - 'Reguiem for my sister.'
Rindl uses quite a few different techniques in the book. It is bound using the nut and bolt process. I think this has a very unique feel to it and makes it stand out from anything else I have seen. She also experiments with different papers, cards cutting through and sewing into them. A part that particularly moved me was when she used sewing into her work to create meaning saying "We're still connected," then connecting the pages together with a piece of string.
Looking through the artist book made me realise you can create a lot of meaning just by using different media.
I discovered alot of her work is text based...
Here are some images of her work...
