Behind the Scenes of the Passport Office, Arnolfini, Bristol.

My niece and I had such a great time running our Passport Office at the Bristol Artist Book Event.
Here are a few photographs from the day. All photographs by Tom Sowden.

The passport office was based on Lucy from Peanuts, psychiatrist booth. 

























At the end of the weekend we both collected stamps in our passports from all the participating exhibitors/stall holders/publishers.

See you next time ! 

Rubber Stamp Passport Office - Exhibition & Performance, B.A.B.E Arnolfini, Bristol.

Join illustrator Stephen Fowler and artist Harriet Price, as they open their Rubber Stamp Passport Office for the first time.

They will be issuing an edition of 100 passports, as a means to navigate BABE and collect stamp impressions from the many bookmakers, small publishers, artists and other stallholders, who are contributing to this rubber stamp Happening. To be one of the lucky few who are issued with a passport, form an orderly queue at one of the following times.
