Lynette Willoughby – Artist ….

Made for the exhibition at Liverpool Artist’s Book Fair in June 2016, commemorating the 400th anniversary of his death – The Tempest: We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On. Again collaborating with Clare and using the copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare which my brother Andy left me when he went off to become a beatnik in 1966 I inserted etched acrylic sheets in the ‘island’ of the book and surrounded it with waves cut from graphic novel versions of The Tempest. The wonderful Symon Ryder negotiated for part of the exhibition, including our book, to travel to Sarno in Italy, where it’s currently on display (and enjoying its travels very much…)
