Gelatin Prints and some book forms

Today I went into Boston to the Athenaeum to see the Artists’ Books Exhibit. What a wonderful space to just be with books.  The exhibit show cases books from the Athenaeum’s collection.  Inspiring!  I came home and played with a single page book form.  I followed the instructions in Book + Art by Dorothy Simpson Krause.  I am going to exhibit several of my artist books at the Sage Art Gallery, in March.  I am excited about putting this show together.  Must Run!  Happy Printing.

Artist books and looking for Answers

box of my artist books

After a quick stop at the Wicked Big Cafe for a coffee with a shot of pumpkin, I was on my way to the Sage Art Gallery with this box of my books and I ran into a friend.  I started talking about my art, my business and my need to set some priorities.  She started flipping through my first book and told me to read it and then set my goals.  Funny how the answers are right before me in my own work.  Happy Art Making.

dirty book – inside pages

There  was a nice turn out to support the local artists at Lynn Arts yesterday.  My book created a bit of interest in looking for the “dirty.”  For those who can’t see it in person, it has to be handled to experience the dirt.  As you turn the pages,  you make an impression and the pages make an impression on you, by leaving a little graphite/charcoal on your fingers.  Happy Art making!

Collaging Gelatin Prints

little house a gelatin print
aprox 8″ x 8″
I was inspired by some children’s board books that I was priming for an altered book project.  So I dropped everything and dug through the pile of experiments and collaged this little house on a path.  It is fun to be inspired by what is before me.  Enjoy an accordion book that I made in a similar way.
