Page from Little Lady Sadie, the Fixer of Broken Things (2008), extract from the short story of the same name by Bonita Monsiegneur.

:

An illustrator who studied at the Glasgow School of Art, Black collaborated with Edinburgh-based writer Bonita Monsiegneur on this project. The book was ‘drawn with light’, by obscuring and revealing the glass plate on a photocopier to copy the void above the plate and create dense images that reflect the narrative’s use of shadow as a metaphor. The book was created with low-tech methods and materials: drawing, scissors, glue and a typewriter; the final artwork was compiled on a photocopier.

By their own admission, their own work was published in ‘obscure journals and magazines’ – poetry and visual art magazines or fanzines that were produced cheaply and disseminated to small groups of interested artists. For example, The Informer – the magazine edited by Armstrong and David Gill and published between 1966 and 1971 – is in the collection of the British Library, but this and other such publications have yet to gain wider exposure. However, with the efforts of enthusiasts such as the Canadian poet Derek Beaulieu (see p. 158), who is currently archiving a great many examples of typewriter/visual poetry on UbuWeb, this situation will hopefully change.
