Bookwork Journal Start an Inquiry

Featured Work

A selection of recent prints, editions, and book arts pieces, each chosen for how they pushed the practice forward or brought something new to the thinking.

What is shown here

These pieces represent a range of approaches across the studio's current work — from larger-scale prints and bound editions to smaller experimental pieces. They're organized not by theme or chronology, but by what each one taught us, what material or technique it introduced, and how it sits within the wider conversation about textiles, surface design, and how visual thinking translates across media.

Every piece here started as a question: how do we push this technique further? What happens if we layer this material differently? Can we take what we learned from printmaking and apply it to something bound and dimensional? That's the frame we're using to show them.

Detailed textile and fabric crafting process
The craft process begins with material — how it behaves, what it teaches you.

How each was chosen

Piece What we did What we learned
Woven Boundaries series Combined screen-printed surfaces with hand-stitched overlays on paper, then bound them into a single codex How stitching changes the reading of a print — it creates a rhythm that the eye follows differently than flat colour
Paper Grain Studies Printed the same image on six different paper stocks, each with different absorption and tooth, without adjusting ink or technique The paper is not a neutral surface — it's a voice in the conversation, and changing it changes the entire piece
Reverse Editions Printed four editions of the same design but used different colour combinations for each, then numbered them to trace a progression Colour doesn't just change mood — it changes which formal elements read first. The structure is there before colour touches it
Textile Transfer Took a printmaking surface and adapted it to work on silk and linen, scaling the design to fit hand-loom dimensions The shift from paper to textile forced us to think about how the piece would sit in a room, not just on a wall — it's different discipline

In their own words

Close-up detail of premium materials and textures used in creative work
Every time we see a piece from Bookwork Journal on display, we notice something we didn't catch before — a detail in the layering, a choice in the paper that changes how the whole thing reads. That's what separates a solid print from work that stays with you.
