It will be all over – Finished book

The finished book which measures 7 metres by 80cm and is made of 350gsm paper and silk screen ply wood. The book is an illustrated depiction telling the narrative of the key stages of WW1 following the journey of specific soldiers from the Buffs Regiment. Through extensive research and experimentation in print processes, we combined photographic  references of the horror of war alongside drawings and mark making to create compositional structures of over laying images to create a time line. Graphic motifs and images occur throughout expressing the futility of the repeating battles and the war itself.  A smaller hand made book has been made directly from the larger book which will be displayed at Sandwich Museum.  Through the prints we have generated we have also created a box set and a newspaper.
