I have been invited to contribute a single page-work for the next 'issue' of the project, Marbled Reams curated by Tom Godfrey.

Marbled Reams is a print project that launched at Publish and Be Damned 2009 with the
initial production and display of 12 reams. The project continues with new
reams being produced on a bi-monthly basis. The project is run by Glasgow based
artist Tom Godfrey.
Marbled
Reams is derived from an artwork produced by Godfrey with the same title in
2007 where a ream of A4 paper was marbled along one edge and displayed on a
glass shelf.
Realising the potential vested in a stack of blank paper, and the
ease at which the title can be mis-read as 'Marble Dreams', the artwork has
been developed into an editioning/publishing project where artists are invited
to produce a single A4 work that is then photocopied onto an entire ream. This
is then marbled along one edge, offering a shared origin for all 500 sheets,
documented for the projects website, and then displayed in its entirety,
highlighting another theme in the project of linking the display of printed
matter with that of sculpture.
