bloggety blog blog

Hello--I'm Kate.  Though I don't have much experience using the computer to make my work, I'm excited by the prospect.  The book project is particularly interesting for me.  I took Elizabeth Mackie's Book Arts course and spent some time at Women's Studio Workshop this summer, where I was able to observe many artists making their own artist books.  Ever since, I've been looking for the chance to work on a more ambitious book.
Here's one of my sculptures--a book the size of a single bed, with cloth-covered foam for a cover and bed sheets for pages.  I painted the words of Margaret Atwood's poem "Variation on the Word Sleep," on the pages, which, incidentally,  was the same poem I used for my Digital Imaging I book project.
