I feel like I have come full circle... and this ending is just a beginning.
I began the course with a love of working with paper and for the process of making books but with my heart firmly rooted in sculpture. The more I began to explore what a book is or could be the harder the concepts seemed grasp ... the possibilities seemed endless but sometimes confusing and I am still learning. A turning point was finding a copy of “THE NEW ART OF MAKING BOOKS” by Ulises Carrión in it Carrion writes.. "WHAT A BOOK IS A book is a sequence of spaces. Each of these spaces is perceived at a different moment - a book is also a sequence of moments. A book is not a case of words, nor a bag of words, nor a bearer of words......" It was with these words echoing in the back of my mind that I worked on the final project. and what I once thought of as sculpture also became book.

Karen, it is so interesting to revisit some of your work here and to see more of it all together. Not only are the ideas interesting but it inalso looks great visually.
