Artist Books and Gelatin Printing

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.
