Tracey Bush

Tracey Bush is a book artist who studied at Camberwell College of Arts and Crafts. Her work can be found in the collections of the Tate Gallery Library, Winchester School of Art Library and the Yale Centre for British Art, Connecticut, U.S.A.

Her most recent project Nine Wild Plants, supported by the Arts Council, presented a set of nine botanical specimens. Though scientifically accurate, the delicate and complex leaves, stalks and flowers of these plants were cut from paper packaging featuring many hundreds of brand names and logos.

Alongside her own practice, Tracey has devised and led a variety of workshops at many leading National Museums and Galleries, including the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Natural History Museum, and the British Library. Her most recent project, commissioned by Barbican Education, involved helping primary school children to create a huge paper theatre, lit with coloured lights to evoke a fairytale atmosphere.
