Books Artist Statement

Books are a big part of my life and always have been.  So the idea of creating artist books intrigues me.  I don’t think I will ever become a writer of books, but making or altering books is well within  my abilities.  Taking a printed book and expanding on it with the artist tools of pattern, line, texture and repetition is a worthy challenge.  My other “from scratch” books begin as a single sheet of paper, in this case, an aviation map that is hand colored, cut, and embellished with embroidery, then folded into a book.
