Paper Ponderings: Broken fragments

FIONA DEMPSTER - CALLIGRAPHIC AND BOOK ARTIST. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. I've been away and out of action for a bit, so haven't been able to get back to photograph Endure. But as we were pulling it apart, and basically having to break it along the way in order to recover and re-make it, the four original Perspex sandwich pages were damaged. We put them aside and at the end of the day I thought I'd throw them away. But as soon as I went to do that, they said "no". Posted by Fiona Dempster. August 6, 2015 a...

FIONA DEMPSTER - CALLIGRAPHIC AND BOOK ARTIST. Thursday, July 30, 2015. 8220;People think of education as something they can finish.”. I love this thought! I have had great role models - both my parents were the first in their families to attend university; both had careers; and then both went back and did further degrees in their fifties and sixties. And started new careers! I love that learning continues for ever and that there is still so much to explore and understand. Posted by Fiona Dempster. A pla...

Paper Ponderings: Markers

FIONA DEMPSTER - CALLIGRAPHIC AND BOOK ARTIST. Sunday, May 17, 2015. And so I make books. I am making 52 small books to mark and acknowledge that each week in 2014 at least one woman was killed by a partner or former partner. That number has almost doubled so far this year to two per week and my heart is filled by sadness and despair at the thought. In keeping track of these deaths and increasing our awareness. I'm nowhere near finished. I have stitched 30 covers - lots still to do, then pierce the p...

Paper Ponderings: Finished fragments
http://paperponderings.blogspot.com/2015/08/finished-fragments.html
FIONA DEMPSTER - CALLIGRAPHIC AND BOOK ARTIST. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. I went to the framers today. I took quite a few pieces in preparation for our exhibition at Noosa Regional Gallery. In particular I wanted to see how it would be to frame my works "Under Construction". They are mixed media, with twigs and feathers and fabric and thread and prints, so it was going to take a bit of time. Still I am hopeful. Here are some fragments of the finished work. One of my 'haiku-poems' about building nests.

Jennifer Coyne Qudeen: Tactile Notebooks and the Written Word - After
http://jennifercoynequdeen.blogspot.com/2013/09/tactile-notebooks-and-written-word-after.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. Tactile Notebooks and the Written Word - After. Each day of Sandra Brownlee's. Tactile Notebooks and the Written Word. Workshop was comprised of one or two exercises - usually mark making followed by writing about the experience. On Wednesday, Sandra asked us to bring out our objects of inspiration. When packing for the trip, I'd considered 2 things that are very dear to me and finally decided on three wrapped stones that were a gift from Fiona. What a turn it was. This little...

FIONA DEMPSTER - CALLIGRAPHIC AND BOOK ARTIST. Sunday, August 30, 2015. Produce and little bits of peace. I have very little to show for my artistic endeavours this week; rather more to show for my kitchen efforts I'm afraid! I have spent the week doing a lot of writing for my art - two articles, a letter to be included in an exhibition and an exhibition proposal. Barry and I often note to each other that it's never just about the art is it? Fresh out of the oven. The rhubarb was glowing and so it has be...
