Curious About Movable Artist Books? Emma Rentz

The last student in the Movable Book showcase is Emma Rentz, an artist curious about reassembling identity with a pair of scissors and a needle. Her works primarily use old photographs and threads that act as both puppet strings and heart strings to wind together a portrait of the artist as a ‘strayed’ soul. The accordion style books, such as Strayed and Untitled pictured below, show interesting bookbinding methods in marriage with Rentz’s emphasis of a ‘common thread’ that brings these separate moments in time together.
