Book Arts: Conversations in Art and Words

September 25 – December 22, 2024

Book Arts: Conversations in Art and Words highlights regional artist book makers who combine visual art and language. Artists’ books exist at the intersection of a wide variety of art forms including printmaking, photography, graphic design, and sculpture and the show includes examples that range from scrolls to new media.  The exhibition explains how using journal entries, integrating literature, and directly collaborating with writers can inform and expand the meaning of a visual image. Each artwork is interactive, and visitors are invited to initiate their own collaborative exchange through writing, drawing, and contemplation.

The exhibiting artists each have a connection to Cape Cod and include Marie Canaves, Deborah Carter, Lynne Francis-Lunn, Sheryl Jaffe, Mary Kane, Ronni Komarow, Michelle Law, David Phillips, Susan Porter, Sara Ringler, Angela Rose, Angela Tanner, and Vicky Tomayko.
