Artist's Statement
I love the tactile experience of handling a book- the intimacy is quite different from the experience of looking at a painting. The mental process of making books is also quite different from the act of painting, challenging a different part of my brain and giving me a chance to use beautiful paper in work the viewer can touch. Every project is a new challenge, and I seem to have a knack for getting myself into uncharted territory. I try to include surprises so the viewer is rewarded for exploring my work, and I love to see the books enjoyed.
Collaboration is also very important to me, although the books included in this exhibition are my own work. None of it would have been done without the great teaching and inspiration of people like Ed Hutchins, Carol Barton, Hedi Kyle, and a string of others whose work has inspired me to make books.
