Coffee Table Book of: Marbled Paper (Hardcover)

Description

Coffee Table Book of: Marbled Paper. Blue islands, fine combed lines and broad curls animate original visual studies of marbled paper. Indigo, rust, ochre and muted green form a quiet exploration of colour and pattern.

Studies of whole sheets sit alongside close details of fibres, torn edges and folds. Combs, brushes and shallow trays suggest the working process, while unlettered books and small boxes show the decorative uses of patterned sheets.

This catalogue invites slow looking at pattern, texture and form.

Short notes run through the book, on visible patterns, paper surfaces and the uses of decorative sheets: raking light makes the surface fibres easier to see, the fold brings the patterned face and plain reverse into one view, a single point can draw a path through floating colour, and endpapers sit between a book’s covers and its main leaves.

Printed in full colour on heavy 150gsm coated paper at 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches), as a hardcover with the art printed on the case.
