The most recent resident book artist at Hot Bed Press, Rebecca Jones, is making a delayed start to her residency. First it was finishing a degree, and then a short but full-on festival residency in Bilbao - this lady does not stand still. As with the previous book artist residents, here she is in her own words:
Hot Bed Press has invited Leeds-based artist Rebecca Jones to be their book artist in resident for six months. Predominately, she will explore notation, scores and the presentation of happenings through book works and print. Rebecca's practice revolves around the deconstruction of meaning and moments in order to judge and evaluate their composite elements. Following this, she explores the reconstruction of that meaning by recombining their parts.
"Words, graphic notation and language are all central to my work. How an event or happening can be understood and interpreted through these various modes of communication fascinates me. I often move through genres and forms; the loss and gain through the translation of one medium to another creates valuable subject matter for me."
During her residency she will also further work upon ideas and research she conducted about the Semana Grande (Big Week Festival) in Bilbao this summer whilst working at Pocagallery; an artists in resident programme which is organised by Hondartza Fraga and funded by East Street Arts. Upon the completion of her residency with Hot Bed Press, she will present the works at an exhibition and invite performers and musicians to interpret them.
