Medium: Artists' Books
I was attracted to making books for conceptual, aesthetic, and emotional reasons. My interest in narratives, through the sequencing of photographic imagery, and the desire to hold that sequence in place, prompted my first volumes. Eventually, I realized that I wanted to anchor my photos with writing; books not only invited the viewer to “read” images and text, but also to interact by touching pages and leafing backwards or skipping forwards. And finally, memories of colorfully illustrated childhood books, combined with a rebellion against dull and uninviting adult ones, inspired me to create visually enticing book works for mature readers.
