CONCERTINA COLLABORATION 2024

Welcome to the 2024 CONCERTINA COLLABORATION online exhibition

The artists exhibiting belong to my Print & Paper Forum as they have taken printmaking, book art and/or collage courses with me. Each artist was paired with another, they each created a simple concertina book of folded paper that they added to before posting it to their partner.

These books travelled to and fro between the artists up to 6 times., many of the participants posted photographs of their books at each stage. What you see here are the final books, we hope you enjoy them!

Here you will find work from this year’s artists;

Batsheva Bernstein & Barbara van Gool, Sharon Bruster & Lynn Wise, Ruth Brace & Annette Kreiser, Anna Ferrie & Merry Pannett, Camilla Morrill & Eva Schull, Lola Bunbury-Davies & Sue Firmin, Sue Downie & Laina West, Marian Hall & Linda Walsh, Hazel Cilia & Pippa Palmer, Jennie Callomon & Alita Porter, Kate Crossley & Roberta Hopkins, Wendy Godfrey & Beverley Youngman, Jacqueline Bowcutt & Jenny Neill, Kat Mcgee & Christine Watters, Jo Brody & Kelly Hitchens, Carmen Bubar & Gerry McGaunn, Daphne Dwyer & Ellen Liner, Catherine Kirsch & Nathalie Robert

Wendy Godfrey in collaboration with Beverley Youngman

“Our styles were quite different and every exchange brought new ideas and a fresh challenge. The original concertina has had a varied evolution, finally morphing into a 3D cube. Thank you, Beverley, for introducing numerals, asemic writing and bold colours all of which featured large in the final construction. This has been a really fun collaboration – thank you Sally for making it happen.” Wendy
