Herbarium Press

and Catalogue

above: Practical Herbarium Press (used for the creation of algae pressing artworks)

This is a test for the Herbarium Press inspired catalogue pertaining to the practical component of my project.
The loose pages each contain labels and information regarding the contents of each page, allowing for pages to be re-arranged and ‘jumbled’, resulting in a possibly different viewing experience with each reading. The pages can also be layed out upon a table or floor and viewed to the reader’s liking, encouraging readers to arrange and make individual connections between pages.
The papers used in the final will reference both the papers used in the artworks within this project, as well as the papers that are used for pressings specimens in a herbarium press, such as thick blotting papers, cardboard and newsprint.

However, should the need arise that the pages of the catalogue be more easily navigable for examiners and readers, then I have it in mind to use a Coptic Stitch (example seen in this image) to bind the pages. When the ‘herbarium press’ is opened, the bound pages will sit neatly within. In this way, the wooden herbarium press ‘slats’ and accompanying straps will still act as the cover / holder of the pages, but the pages will be bound together. Large, folded prints will still be included at the back of the bound pages, so that readers can get a sense of the scale of certain works. What may be interesting to use found, beached plastics instead of traditional thread to bind the pages, and this ‘stitching’ is perhaps reminiscent of the use of stitching it the works ‘Beached Wrack / Wreck’ and ‘A Scenic Imposter’.
