The Minnesota Center of Book Arts inaugurated a book arts prize this year, with an award of $2000 to the winner and $500 to five finalists. Those finalists were announced recently and you can see them here along with the books from all the people who entered. I wasn’t familiar with some of the entrants, including Simon Redington, who’s one of the five finalist. His book Bomb (to the right) is made from “Letterpress type, woodblocks & circular saw blades”. There’s some information about him here and a gallery of his prints here. |
