artists books from the Exhibition at the Huntclub Community Arts Centre, September 2014

Here is a snapshot of some of the artist's books from the exhibition.
Some of the books posed questions that the exhibition audience could answer by writing into the book. Others explored ideas and imagery alongside paintings and three dimensional works.
