Video is nice :) I've just returned from my bookbinding conference & it was one of the most intense experiences I think I've ever had in my life! There were so many people there from literally all over the world, and all of them are bookbinders or restoration people. Most of the presenters (top experts in their fields) were from Britain and the presentations were absolutely wonderful. Again, I know most people aren't really into the manual/visual arts as related to bookbinding, so I won't rant on too much I promise. BUT, I have to mention that one of the speakers is the most astonishing book artist, whom I had the privilege of meeting - his name is Philip Smith & he uses leather onlays & inlays like paint in an extrememly 'modern', artistic approach. I absolutely love his work. It's highly original & pushes the envelope of book design so far that the traditional envelope no longer even exists! - design elements are taken from the story within the book and are incorporated together with psychological and spiritual applications, all of it executed with an incredible degree of skill and dedication. The book becomes the foundation for what becomes a functional, interpretive sculptural work. I'm going to put up some images of his bindings on my web site (along with other updates!) as soon as I can so you can see it if you like. One thing a lot of people here might be interested in was the talk about book conservation efforts in the digital age. I won't mention it now though because I have to go forage in the kitchen for something to eat immediately (my accomodations were quite sparse over the past few days & I'm in need of vast quantities of Annie's Mac & Cheese right now, believe me) It was so wonderful to be amongst so many binders and artists though - from all around the world - and I miss them!
