Additional information
Lorna Crabbe is an artist specialising in artists’ books, which can be one-off original pieces, or editions of books where the artist is in control of the conception and production. She received a graduate certificate in Book Arts from London College of Communication in 2007 and regularly exhibits and sells her works at national book fairs. (Recent exhibitions include ‘Birds, Bird Books and Book Bindings’ at the Chapel Row Gallery in Bath and ‘Lost and Foundling’ at the 491 Gallery in London.)
Lorna is currently working on a number of research and curatorial projects. ‘I am interested in collections, hoarding, the importance of domestic and family objects, photographs and archives. In the past, I’ve found inspiration in Mexican home altars, junk shop windows and small museums,’ she says. ‘More recently I have been using the book format, specifically hand-bound books relating to dressmaking and the history of women’s craftwork.’
