Shoot to Kill
Category: I
Year: 2018
Location: Lymington, Hampshire
Artist: Claire Parfett
I met Noriko, the librarian, at Southampton Wayzgoose; a gathering of printmakers, exhibiting and selling handmade letterpress prints, artists' books, letterpress supplies and printed ephemera.
The altered books already returned to the Library of Re-Claimed Books were really surprising, clever and imaginative; I wasn't sure that my artistic skills were up to the job, but Noriko encouraged me to join in, and this book inspired me...'Shoot to Kill'.
Given where I met Noriko, it seemed appropriate to use a printing method to alter this book, so I produced some crosshair images using Reverse Monoprinting during my course at Brockenhurst College. Then adding the bullet holes was the fun part; it's ok, I didn't actually use a gun and no animals or people were hurt during this creation.
