The artist book: Making as visual method

The artist book: Making as visual method

Abstract
This article considers how the act of making through embodied activity can enhance levels of knowledge of complex theoretical frameworks. W. G. Sebald’s use of narrative and image in The Emigrants (1993) to conjure up ghosts that reside in our memory of significant places influenced the development of a hand stitched artist book of collaged photographs taken on a final farewell walk. This article examines the journey undertaken to develop the book from the walk over two years ago to the recent binding of the spine and consider the tacit understanding of the theoretical concepts which developed into explicit knowledge through the making of the book.
