work from PBI 2011

I attended The Paper and Book Intensive in Oxbow, Michigan. In Andrea Dezsö’s class, I made four tunnel books in 4 days. Some of these will be on display at the Kentuck Gallery in Northport, Alabama in July.

Inheritance

These books were made between 1999-2001 and contain objects collected from my grandmother’s house.

Cooked Book

Each page of this book was covered with an ingredient for making a cake, and then baked in the oven.

12″ x 9″ x 5″, 5 pages, mixed media, 1999.
