What Is Next?

What Is Next?  Artist Book  10x8  20 pages with several pop-outs.  Paper, cotton cloth, linen thread.

An Artist Book (or Artist's Book, or Book Art) is where the book is intended as a work of art in itself (rather than a book about art). They are usually handmade and one of a kind.

It has no real narrative, but loosely explores themes relating to the transitory cycle I am in right now. I used stencils, collage materials, and sketches that I’d originally developed for larger pieces in my Archeology and Art series. I had a wonderful time making some fold-out pages- something I want to expand upon in future books.

Below you can see a slideshow of each page, or you can click on the thumbnails below for a still shot.

Below is a 2 minute video of me paging through the book.
