No Woman is an Island: monograph

‘No Woman is an Island’ is a handmade book which I created in collaboration with performer Róisin Stack.

I worked with Róisín to develop a book that would capture the essence of her experimental play which she wrote, directed and preformed.

As book artist for this project, I designed and laid out the script in an experimental way that reflected the play. It was interesting to have the chance to play around with typography, treating each page as a visual statement. Unusually for one of my books, there are no images just text. As an alternative, I incorporated blue pages create a visual pause within the text.

I screenprinted the cover of this book using a matt metallic blue. It sits beautifully on the charcoal black cover and complements the other blue pages dotted inside the book.

I designed, laid out and handbound a limited edition of 100 books, each of which is signed by Róisin.
