1986; edition of 50.. 10 x 11 in, 254 x 279 mm; 40 pp. Printed letterpress in four colours from woodletter and handcut zinc blocks. In a printed slipcase. "The recent visitation by Halley's Comet, and its image upon the Bayeux Tapestry, brought forth a poem about comet. s and a divine child descending; a rather pagan Christmas carol. The poem is set in airily spaced woodletter capitals, and is alternately revealed either in white space or on a dark, starry backdrop. A comet appears. Its form is gained from the back. leg and tail of a dark horse that moves about the printed firmament. The horse is sometimes dismembered, and sometimes whole. ".

1984; edition of 50. 13.5 x 9.25 in, 343 x 235 mm. Formed from I7 joined sheets: 68 concertina-folded pages as one long strip, pasted onto heavy endboards of varnished wood, in a slipcase. Silkscreened by Jim Birnie at Norwich School of Art on Heritage Rag acid-free pa. per. "I wrote and artworked the book in three parallel and overlapping lines that run its length disregarding the concertina folds. The centre line records a conversation that took place between 'A' and 'B'. It stands as a proposition for a piece . of sculpture, and also floats whisky on 'an ocean made of paper'. The other two lines help or hinder the progress of this notion: all three lines are in expanded or condensed woodletter forms deployed to assist this book's stammering progress from l. eft to right.
