Toast to Laura, 11:30am
After years of supporting the Book Arts community with the wonderful 23 Sandy Gallery Exhibits and events, as well as supporting and representing many artists, Laura is starting a new chapter in her creative life. Join us for her final trunk show, featuring the exhibit, Built.
This international juried exhibition of book and paper art aims to examine the relationship between contemporary book art practices and architecture, engineering, landscape and construction as form, function, and structure. Let’s re-image the ways we as designers, of either books or buildings can inhabit and shape the world around us. Our disciplines have a natural synergy. Taken a step further, book art can provide a framework for topics like urbanism, town planning, buildings, and space. Let’s examine the relationship between the built and the book.
