Book
album
'A rare possession is Rolina Nell's album, which arrived at my doorstep today.'
— Wim Noordhoek, radio producer, journalist and author
The book album gives an overview of my paintings and drawings. It is inspired by the design of a vintage photo album with cobweb paper. Transparent pages are printed with fragments from paintings in silver ink. I designed the book myself and had it printed as sustainably as possible. The 86 artworks, dating from 2012 — the year I transitioned from acrylic to egg tempera — are printed on uncoated paper using a waterless offset process with vegetable-based ink.
The design of this website is based on the layout of the book album.

Box
Colouring book
In 2007, during a year-long journey from the Netherlands to China and back, I created a weekly drawing called a Friday column, faxed each week to an artist-run space in the Netherlands. These 52 drawings were later compiled in a cardboard A4 box as a loose-leaf colouring book.
