I am sharing the video tour of the exhibition, The Artful Book, held at the Long Beach Museum of Art in 2019-2020.
The Artful Book show featured the wildly diverse book-works of members of the California Chapter of the Guild of Book Workers.
The video is almost 35 minutes long, and a very thorough exploration of the show!
I am honored to participate in:
I will be showing two pieces:
Prairie
and
Maximum Security
A book begins as a small mass of material, formed and pressed into life by ideas, words, and machines. A concept becomes thought, becomes word, becomes book, becomes sculpture. From the tactile complexity of handmade paper, to the alteration of existing volumes, to a variety of other materials and concepts, these objects, in an increasingly digital world, stubbornly survive. The objects in this exhibition will interpret the concept of the book and invite the viewer to look beyond the printed page to where word has become form.
The Book as Art v. 8.0: Infinity will be presented online until further notice.
However, the exhibition will be installed at the Decatur Branch of the DeKalb County Public Library, in anticipation that the Periodicals Gallery at the Decatur Library may be open for limited viewing before the advertised end of the exhibition (October 17).
Virtual programming is in development to supplement and enhance viewer experience.
“How does materiality represent who we are? Does the material you use dictate who you are as a maker? How does medium speak to who you are as an individual?”
I am honored to participate in the show “Material Identity”
In the exhibition Material Identity, 27 artists and makers from 3 countries and 16 states explore the substance of material, paying special attention to their place in the world, either from a focus inward, or how they identify in society at large. This international exhibition was juried by Jiseon Lee Isbara, Otis College of Art and Design, and Jessica Kooiman Parker, Boulder Dairy Art Center.
I am showing:
Throes of the Body
and
Profusion
MATERIAL IDENTITY runs from July 10 – August 29, 2020

Drive-By-Art Los Angeles was an amazing outside public art exhibition organized by Warren Neidich, Renee Petropoulos, Michael Slenske and Anuradha Vikram.
DRIVE-BY-ART (Public Art in This Moment of Social Distancing), was designed as an outdoor public art exhibition that could be experienced from the safety and intimacy of one’s own automobile. (Perfect for LA).

I am thrilled to be part of the 3rd Annual Spring Small Works show at the Vanessa Lacey Gallery.
The 3rd Annual Spring Small Works Show Virtual Edition at Vanessa Lacy Gallery is now live! Browse affordable art under 14 inches from the comfort of your own home.

I am showing Narrow Bridge, a flag book made of board, tissue paper, window shade material, linen thread, and collage.
Outside, Front Cover
Inside, it says in stitching:
“The Whole World is A Narrow Bridge
The Important Thing Is Not To Fear”
Exterior
The book is comprised of an accordion-folded spine, with two covers, and flag pages attached to opposite sides of the folds, so that they create an alternating pattern when the book is opened.
A message of hope, assurance and our connectivity as human beings.
May you walk your own Narrow Bridge with hope and confidence and move through your own fears during this challenging time.
Stay Safe
Stay Well
Stay Sane
