I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.


Call for art: "Between the Fold"

Call for art: "Between the Fold"

Gallery One called. They want to see your book art like right now.

The nationwide call for art is live on Gallery One’s website for the April exhibit “Between the Fold.” What The gallery defines book art as:

“the field of art that involves the creation of works using or referring to structural and conceptual properties of books. While an existing book may be altered to create a work, instead of being merely a printed book about art, works in the genre of book arts are intended as artworks themselves.“

I alter existing books; maybe you fold or cut or use paper in some other way. You do you.

Art book publisher Ed Marquand and I will select the works for this exhibit. (You might know Ed as the guy behind the annual 10x10x10xTieton Exhibition.) The entry deadline is February 23rd. Maybe that sounds far away… but it’s only a few weeks to create a piece from scratch if you work slowly like me. Get moving, and show us your book art submissions!
