Lyn Ashby
Lyn Ashby (PhD) is a book artist, researcher and writer. He has worked in teaching, photography, animated film-making, graphic design and journalism. Since 2006 he has been producing personal book projects which have been exhibited in numerous book shows and are represented in various Australian and international private and public collections including the Victoria&Albert Museum, Tate Britain, the New York Public Library and the National Gallery of Australia and National Library of Australia.
The various paths and byways of life and careers have, each in their way, inexorably lead him to the practice of making books and feed into what he attempts to deal with on their pages. The works range across numerous themes often exploring issues of language, the nature of identity and how the book form itself might be a vital modern tool to help penetrate such mysteries. Often letterforms, as the independent visual figures that they are, attempt expression beyond the language code which spawned them. Or visual sequences, usually a result of the hybrid vigour of the textual and imagistic, endeavour to go beyond the limits of our cherished notions of narrative, leading us who knows where?
All the books here, though funnelled through the processes of digital printing, arise from a wide-range of computer- and hand-generated materials and texts by the artist. They are hand-bound in mainly limited editions.
