Book As Art

“Book As Art” Series, 2024

Book as Art is the vessel through which my storytelling finds its most intimate and enduring form. As a master bookmaker of over 30 years, I use the book not only as a container for visual language, but as a sacred space where symbols, scripts, and images converse across time and culture. These works draw from Indigenous traditions and universal pictographic roots, reflecting a deep longing for a shared language that once transcended borders. The familiar form of the book invites quiet participation—held in the hands, opened in solitude, it becomes a personal encounter with myth, memory, and meaning. Each page turns like a whispered conversation between past and present.
