Movable Book showcase featuring 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.
At the very center of the Movable Artist Books display is the work of Hampshire student artist Sarah Jane Young. Some of her selected works focus on different ways of unfolding that shift and innovate bookbinding norms, while others stay rooted in traditional methods.
The finely detailed work of Hampshire student Nadia Herman adorns the first floor glass case with lace-like impressions of the animal kingdom. Her intricate, yet calming, creature creations breathe life into the blank pages within, giving her books a glow of curious consciousness.
Catch the current exhibition on the Magic Board, a drawing a day videos 2011 to present, an offering to Dr. Yusef Lateef from kara lynch. The work is in conversation with Towards the Unknown, an exhibition of drawings by Yusef Lateef.
Movable artist books are on display in the library first floor exhibit cases, designed and created by Nadia Herman, Sarah Jane Young, and Emma Rentz during an Independent Study with Karen Koehler, Professor of Architectural and Art History, and Rachel Beckwith, Access and Arts Librarian.
