Our ongoing collaboration with UCA Rochester asked artists aged 16\u201317 to produce a creative response to the Dalziel project, reflecting particularly on themes of sequence and temporality. Lucie Stewart developed a project on ageing and the material book, drawing on the ‘Making Prints and Books’<\/a> section of the Alice to Alice: Dalziel 1865\u20131871 online exhibition. Here, Stewart comments on her work:<\/p>\n

“My project was influenced by the works of the Dalziel brothers. I was inspired by the image ‘The Ballad-Maker’. I took inspiration from the books that are in the centre of the image. I decided to create a series of photographs ranging from modern to old books depicting ageing through time. <\/em><\/p>\n

“I took the photographs against a black background so that there was nothin<\/em>g to take the focus away from the detail of the books. This especially enhanced the wear and tear of the older books.<\/em><\/p>\n

“This was an enjoyable project as I found the work of the Dalziel brothers interesting.”<\/em><\/p>\n
