Books out and about!

I'd like to share with you the exciting showing of some of my book pieces at the School of the Art Insitute of Chicago's Joan Flasch Artists' Book Collection. (That's quite a mouthful, I know.)
I had the rare opportunity of curating my work with pieces from the school's collection in the cases pictured here. The pieces will be up for a short while, only until the end of this month, so if you have access to the 5th floor of the school, go take a look!

Also, here is a description from this exhibit:

This series of experimental book forms explores how to transform abstract thoughts from two-dimensional writings on paper into more physical three-dimensional space. In this way, the pieces experiment with new ways of reading in a non-linear manner. In a digital age that challenges the relevance of the traditional book, these pieces also consider other ways to envision the act of writing and reading. Personal journal writing is embedded in winding and sometimes circular paths. These pathways reference rivers, veins, maps, the Internet, and the changing systems of thinking and communicating information.

The other pieces in the adjacent cases were chosen from the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection. Many were chosen because of their unconventional book structures. Other pieces, such as the scrolls, relate to the winding spool of handwriting. Some pieces were also chosen because of the use of handwriting or because they reference digital media and innovative formats for revealing text and image.
