Feature Artist - GUYLAINE COUTURE


lives in Montreal, speaks French, teaches graphic design 
and shares her discoveries on her blog.

   

     

Guylaine started making artist books after a short bindery workshop some years ago.  She has had an obsession with creativity and paper for a long time.  As a graphic designer, Guylaine is upset by the enormous quantities of paper and words used and abused to push a commercial message.  





The re-use of printed documents, pieces of photos and chosen words is a perpetual game for her.  Using collage, drawing and manual printing she tries to give a new direction, a second life to this material.

Each book attempts to create a fusion between the contents and the container while questioning the manipulation of the object by the reader.  To browse slowly through one of the artist's books is an experience, a conversation, a relationship with her and her concerns.
