“May This Become” is a work that explores de Beer’s interests in printmaking and bookmaking and book restoration. The work is created using a forgotten second hand book, entitled Our Mutual Friend. Like many second hand books they are often forgotten and left to deteriorate. Though this work de Beer aims to give the book new life by celebrating the books objectivity. The cover is then pared with images or books and bookbinding equipment, sewing frames, keys and an awl. The work then eludes to the repair of books whereby they are also given new life. De Beer’s fascination with book is rooted in a books physicality and through her work she explores that physicality through the lens of being a printmaker, bookbinder and book restorer.

I graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine art in Cape Town in 2015 with my BAFA majoring in printmaking. The following year I graduated with my honors in Curatorship in 2016. Since then I have been working within the creative industry both in galleries and currently in a framing studio. Over the years I have also taken part of various printmaking, bookbinding and book restoration internships to further my practical knowledge. During my studies and in my current artist practice, books and artist-books have been one of the main sources of inspiration for my work. This is rooted in the fact that I am dyslexic and my relationship with books and words is slightly different to the average reader. I have always been fascinated by a book's objectivity, how they act as carriers of knowledge and by words as imagery rather than carriers of meaning; as I could often not access the codes within words. Through my work I continue to explore the those relationships in the form of printmaking and book arts; further developing and expanding those concepts of words, knowledge and books.
