About the Book
MORETREES is the name under which Mathew Bishop and Tavis Walker collaborate on visual art and design. In 2007 we began experimenting with the sketchbook as a medium; where the book is intended as a work of art in itself. The result is our current project, Not For Sale, a series of unique artists' books.
Not For Sale is an abstracted visual comment on the conventions involved in the presentation and evaluation of art works. This is made by shifting the fundamental element from the material 'work of art' to the development of an 'experience'. The significance of the interactivity challenges the boundaries between artist, object, and viewer.
We use various media and methods to create this series, as the content is not grounded in any particular genre or style. This project utilized a 'Nothing is Sacred' mentality allowing each page the freedom to grow and evolve through our usual creative processes of embellishing and defacing. These approaches combined with the dynamic between us as individual artists creates and expands our aesthetic language.

NOT FOR SALE VOL 1 also contains contributions from Tyler Crichton, Jean-Guy Jolicouer, Courtney Myran, Spiffy-Lynn Russell, Cassidy Sayer, Sheena Sharp (TOR), David Thomas, Jordan Thomas, and Franz Wark.
