Artist Talk at the Center for Book Arts 11/2

I'm heading up to New York tomorrow to give this talk with the other Van Lier scholars:

"In 2010 the Center awarded four scholarships to individuals who demonstrate a commitment to the artistic endeavors in the book arts, to further the growth of this artistic profession. Katie Baldwin, Kimberly McClure, Sarah McDermott, and Benjamin Reynaert were given time, space, and support to create a new body of work over the course of a year in our studios. Join us to hear more about the work they created while in residence at the Center."

I'm finally wrapping up the book project I've been working on this year at the Center for Book Arts.

The week after, I'll be heading down to DC to do a two month residency at Pyramid Atlantic, before returning to NYC for the winter.

Magic Child Repository

I have a few pieces in the Magic Child Repository, a show at Craftland Gallery, curated by Art Middleton. A month long celebration of hand-made books. Show gets kicked off on Saturday the 9th with an event entitled "Not Enough Room," a short story reading organized by Walker Mettling.
I am confident this show is going to be awesome as these folks are totally doing it for the love! I can't wait to get up there and see it.

The Providence Monthly wrote an article about the show. To see it follow this link and in the April issue click all the way to the end and then back a few pages to page 70.

Paper

This weekend I made 82 sheets of paper at Dobbin Mills in my neighborhood, where I have been doing work trade. Abaca!- pigmented black and green.
It's been a bit difficult to get going on making my own stuff what with settling in to NYC, working, and all of the city distractions that weren't so much of a factor the last 3 years in Alabama! So I'm excited to get going. I like making paper for a lot of reasons but right now I am appreciating it as the kick in the pants I need to start envisioning a project. Pictures soon hopefully if I can find my camera.
