Bite Marks in Paper presents a series of intimate structures which function somewhere between two and three dimensions. Over the course of a year Myers bit paper to create a series of embossed documents, suggesting fragments of the everyday, as unique records of the impulses that precipitated them. In addition to the release of the publication, there will be an accompanying text by Byron Coley, and a special edition.

Manchester-based Rick Myers has gradually presented a stream of objects and special editions on his website, the latest being a privately released, mail subscription series. His work is made using understated materials and processes and comprises countless interweaving elements. Mobiles, hand detailed prints, wooden diagrams, and paper sculpture bring together his exploration, documentation, and poetic investigation.

Myers' acclaimed seven year project, Funnel Vision Portable Museum was shown at the 2004 Liverpool Biennial, and during British Architecture Week in 2005. He has collaborated on projects and publications with Nieves, 2K, Channel 4, Gladtree Press, Commonwealth Stacks, Hammer & Tongs, The Quiet Life, and has produced artwork for around 100 LP covers for artists such as John Cale, Doves, and Dinosaur Jr. Myers has presented live drawings and exhibitions in Manchester, London, USA, Germany and Sweden.
