Shelter: A Unique Vision of a Universal Subject through Artist’s Books

This travelling exhibit was first shown at Lasell College in Newton, MA, then to Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Silver Spring, MD, Rhode Island School of Design Fleet Library, Providence RI, Montserrat College of Art Gallery in Beverly, MA and will end at Wells College in Aurora, NY.

Journey and Seasons are 2 of books chosen by curator Janine Wong to be a part of the Shelter show. Journey (shown right) is a 48 Page drumleaf bound book, pages are monoprint on old map with wood and polymer clay covers. 7.5" x 4" x .5" Both books relate to transitions in life related to shelter.

Shelter focuses attention on a universal subject and one of humanity’s most basic needs, in all its manifestations: the home. The work examines the psychology of personal space, current issues in the housing market, homelessness, the mortgage crisis and loss of historic fabric. Shelter contains the art work of 43 Book Artists from around the country and will travel to selected cities throughout the United States in 2008. A 30% commission on sales from the exhibit will benefit a local housing charity in each city where it is exhibited. Pyramid Atlantic will be making contributions to Habitat for Humanity.
