Guy Begbie is an interdisciplinary artist, bookbinder & university associate lecturer at the University of the West of England.

As an artist, he makes book works influenced by a core interest in parallels between bookbinding structures & architectural forms. He works in a variety of media, that includes traditional bindery materials, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculptural casting and filmmaking. In his work he uses non-linear narrative page configuration and sculptural forms to investigate innovative structures for the book and the further potential for its transition from a closed two dimension to an opened three dimensionality. The notion of a contained space in the book is of particular interest, both conceptually and physically, with book works alluding to spatial qualities in architecture and the built environment.
