Book This Space


This is 'Home Details by Christine Tacq' now showing, with other altered books, until the end of February 2011 in the 'Book This Space' exhibition at Buckinghamshire County Museum, Aylesbury. I chose the biggest discarded book on offer so as to start to make a model of the room I need to draw for my next book. Then, although I knew they would not be seen, I couldn't resist overprinting and changing the other rooms in the book originally called 'Home Details'. I was also inspired by the Giacometti exhibition at the Pompidou Centre a year or two ago and a couple of versions of 'The Palace at 4 a.m.' I love the title and the story behind it ..."We constructed a fantastical palace in the night - a very fragile palace of matches."
