What is an artist's book?

An artist’s book is a medium of artistic expression that uses the form or function of the “book” as inspiration. Artists’ books embrace a range of approaches often experimenting with different materials to offer new ideas and interpretations of the world.

Kylie Watson creates linocuts which she then sews into a scroll format using a variety of Japanese papers. She also create concertina style books using hand printed linocuts.
