In this exhibit are selections of artist books from the Ohio artist Diane Stemper whose books reflect her environment in both large and small ways. Her earlier work foc\"DianeStemper_images\"<\/a>used on the close ground and surfaces around her; included in the show are Insectlopedia <\/i>and Dust Gardens, <\/i>which examine the <\/i>cycles, both imagined and real, of common insects and bacteria. Her later work, inspired by over 75 found petri dishes, ventures into a round space: Compendium: Cell<\/i> asked gallery viewers to consider and comment on scientific fact; Darwin\u2019s Darlings<\/i> commemorates Charles Darwin\u2019s 200th<\/sup> birthday; and other artist books visually consider being at sea, the doldrums and the interaction and impact of science on nature. Her current work is a musing on the act of collecting, comparing and classifying. Her mixed media artist books combine drawing, linoleum prints, digital prints, found and altered text presented in a variety of book structures.<\/p>\n

Diane Stemper received her B.F.A. in Printmaking from San Francisco Art Institute and a M.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts from San Francisco State University. Ms. Stemper\u2019s artist books are in artists\u2019 book collections at DAAP Library, University of Cincinnati, Ohio; the Main Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio; Lucille Little Fine Arts Library, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY; Special Collections at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio; Smith Historical Library, Oxford, Ohio and in several private collections. She is a recipient of two Ohio Arts Council\u2019s \u201cArtists and Communities\u201d grants. Recent exhibits include The Naturalists,<\/i> at the Ohio Art League in Columbus, Ohio; Bookworks 12: Annual Exhibit of the Cincinnati Book Arts Society,<\/i> at the Main Public Library, Cincinnati, Ohio; San Diego Book Arts Third National Juried Exhibition <\/i>at the <\/i>Geisel Library, University of California San Diego; Compendium:Cell, <\/i>Short Show at the Dayton Visual Arts Center, Dayton, Ohio; 5th<\/sup> International Book & Paper Arts Triennia <\/i>at the <\/i>Chicago Center for Book & Paper Arts, Illinois; and Master CraftWorks <\/i>Studio San Giuseppe, Mt.
