Artist Books and Zines
Artist Books and Zines have been in and around my art practice since the very beginning. One of my earliest memories of art books was Nancy Roeder taking my art foundation class (Virginia Commonwealth University, 1981) to the special collections library to see the amazing artist books collection that is housed there. It opened me up to thinking about things in quite different ways. Later I would discover underground zines through punk rock culture and comix.
This DIY approach to creative practice was pushed forward during the COVID 19 pandemic, when making zines became a more focused creative outlet.
