Hidden Agenda






HIDDEN AGENDA
Emily Regan


Product Description: A large leather suitcase containing a flesh-like interior made from unknown materials. Found inside is a series of random ephemera, such as a tie and a pair of shoes, suited to the suitcase’s original function. Accompanying this is a small, concertina book bound with burgundy book cloth. Inside are a series of polaroid-like images, all of which were originally pen-based drawings. A second concertina is also included, this one being landscape and bound in brown book cloth. The images are watercolour and narrate the arrival of an unknown man in Paris.
Regan included a description: ‘The young artist who owns this suitcase is a person with a very perverse and manipulative nature that has manifested itself into the hub of his travels. The inside of the case is a flesh-like landscape of organic curves and crevasses, with openings that contain flesh-like pockets and ripples of the skin.’

Publication Details: Large leather suitcase, Silicone-like interior, Hardback concertina books, Various ephemera.

Hommage to Charles Dickens







HOMMAGE TO CHARLES DICKENS
Valeria Bertesina


Product Description: One of several books featured in the ‘Beyond Dickens’ exhibition, organized by the University of Portsmouth and curated by Ros Simms.
A handmade concertina book measuring 18 cm x 29 cm. The exterior is a firm, mount-board which has been painted directly onto. The interior pages, a cartridge –like paper, have been coated in similar shades of red, occasionally juxtaposed by splashes of grey and the papers natural cream.
Forms of monotype have been used throughout. Faded black lines sit on top of the painted mixture. This imagery is accompanied by various embossings, many of which are hidden by the boldness of the color pallet.
As a concertina, the interior can be fully extended outwards and is completely self-supporting.
This book was inspired by Charles Dicken’s ‘A Christmas Carol’.
