Unsaid Words
Poetry book
Artist - Sarah J Trigg. Edition 200

All the things you wish you had said but never did....
All the things you are glad you never said....
Things you just forgot to mention.

A fascinating and diverse collection of poetry, this beautiful thread-bound, full colour, limited edition anthology is the culmination of a project by artist Sarah J Trigg. Unsaid words, collected by Trigg over a two year period, inspired a national poetry competition from which the poems in the book were selected. Each poem sits alongside the original, hand-written statements that inspired them.

This beautiful little postcard-sized book, designed and hand-finished by the artist, echoes the dimensions and aesthetic of the original unsaid words, which were written in white on the patterned insides of used envelopes. The poems capture the very intimate range of sentiments expressed within the unsaid words. Trigger Editions has the pleasure of introducing new works by Dave Wood, Norton Hodges and Gwen Seabourne, and showcasing emerging poets Octavia Cox, Luke Mundy, Cathy F Wilson, and Genevieve Mae.

Worthless Bookmarks
Artist - Sarah J Trigg. Edition 100

Withdrawn university library books and broken fragments, that have fallen to the floor or been found, left behind on shelves, are the raw material of this set of 'Worth less' bookmarks. Pulped and made into paper, in these bookmarks you may find fragments of obscure texts, brittle paper, powdery leather, frayed Buckram, library labels ........

This work draws on the tension in a library between an almost sacred attitude towards books and the knowledge they contains, and yet they are often very quickly physically broken down or superseded in content so that their worth can seem to evaporate.

Two limited edition sets of 'Library Dust' bookmarks have been created - 'Price less' and 'Worth less'. The Priceless edition will be distributed through 'Escaping the Library System 2010-2011' and the Worthless collection can be purchased here, sold with an envelope made from book pages also found, detached and lost in the library.

£3 each (with envelope)

Psalm Labels
Artist - Sarah J Trigg. Edition 500

These limited edition kits include 3 labels based on Psalm 139 (ESV): 'knitted together', 'wonderfully made' and 'intricately woven'. Each kit contains 12 labels.

As part of this project the artist Sarah J Trigg would like to document how these tags are used, so if you purchase some, please do send us some photos of what you do with them.

Once Lost cards
Artist - Sarah J Trigg. Edition 250

This set of six greetings cards depict images from photographs found at flea markets, junk stores and house clearances. The cards were made as part of a project called 'I found this and thought of you' which plays on our shared histories and experience by using found objects as gifts items. Like the pictures, the verses chosen to accompany them hold for many a nostalgic resonance, something precious, once lost or found.

£12 set of six (15x15cm)

These cards can also be purchased individually.
