HANDMADE BOOKS
In making handmade books, I start with images and words follow. Drawing is a way of thinking and the visual image seems to invite words to appear and say a little more.
Artists We Love 2021—
I began this book in BOOKFUL, the online class I created with Bari Zaki, master bookbinder. Our idea was to explore artists who have had a particular influence on our own creative work. I was surprised the way the first pages describing artists I love led me forward into a moment of creative realization that I had forgotten.
Accordion book with soft cover. 6"x6"
A Year At Home 2021—
I began this book with our BOOKFUL class. We decided to tell the story of our year at home during the worldwide pandemic of 2020. We were close enough to the events for the book to be a way of remembering and letting go. It's a personal document of what we all went through. Accordion book / 6" square.
