New England Book Artists’ Members Exhibition
January 20 – April 29, 2023
As New England Book Artists approached its third anniversary, we celebrated both the book arts and the community we’re building together.
Just as artists’ books vary in content, media and bindings, the Building Books exhibition presents a range of interpretations on the notions of structure, architecture, public & private spaces, reality & fantasy, libraries, engineering, drafting, bookbinding, handmade, making, art process, connections, building supplies, conceptualizations, personal narratives, home and more.
