About
Book artists share a ritualistic feeling for materials. From lead books to Mobius strips based on alchemical manuscripts, this talk will focus on book artist as poetic alchemist. Amy Nichols speaks about the conceptual underpinnings of certain materials and techniques, how and why they are chosen, and the physical properties, possible ideological and symbolic uses of such materials.
