Etchings book making and sequencing

I was preparing for he 5 min video so I decideded to make a book of the etching prints

By this point I had 8 prints ready

PLus the covers, which was bird with opne wings and tna closed wins made on some scras I found in the studio

On th etable is the sequnce I used

I used simple elements within each image to lead into the next. There is no linear concept.

The tonality and texture in the first introduce the next

The shape of the character and the lines introduce the next

The link can be broken, actually it will be too much for a book to be building on that emotional narative

I did consider a concertina, but the more I thought of it, the more I was going for using the same concept as I used when I made the chemigrams book, embracing the negative space created by the empty double spread after each print. It seems to be becoming my signature in making books?

I used French copying teaching, no glue, I'm not a fan. I like to book when I feel it a little lose

Here is a video made by my iPhone of the clips I collected wwhile I made the book
