I love Artist’s Books!
There’s nothing like holding a handmade book and gently flipping through its pages. Artist’s books are both intimate and completely accessible. Making a book is a great way to record your creative thought process. I find the assembling, measuring and constructing steps keep the left brain busy giving the creative juices in the right brain a chance to spark (did you ever notice how great ideas pop up while you’re “mindlessly” brushing your teeth or driving?)
Books can be used to sketch ideas - recording an artist’s thought process, experimentation and final refinement of an idea - or for collages or collections - the possibilities are endless!
I especially love books made by kids! I’ve recently rediscovered a book I made back in kindergarden, I’m so glad I was encouraged to record this silly story!
