Fine. In Allix’s words, her book explores the physical surroundings of an imagined paradise which ‘evoke a pleasurable and undemanding experience. Each section of the book is a separate proposal that is expressed through the shapes, textures and colours of the pages and the prints. This means that pages are different sizes and prints reveal themselves from out of folds and angles of semi-transparent, printed or manipulated papers. The words are brief; short lines found in Coleridge, a hymn, Kipling or Shakespeare.’
