Sarah introduced us to a range of artists who produced beautiful art using the printed, the painted, the performance and the pixelated; work ranging from the aesthetic to the altruistic compiled in book form.  

I loved Tim Mosely's extremely personal 'Archipelago of Remnant Gardens' - a touchable http://www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk/13brazil/brazilsbpics.pdf'tear n' share' book based on his childhood experiences and a response to his past and future printed on Rainforest ply. It was inconceivable to me that one could be allowed to touch, rip pages and in doing so actually become part of artist's finished work.
