I'm circling back to the exhibit "The Art of the Book & Paper" and this illustration used in a book. What intrigues me is the dress -- a collaged image mimicking the shape and function of a dress -- for how I might make fabric to make used in garments. This inspires me to print and to compose with large motifs.
At the opening of the "Art of the Book" was an international gathering of art made from books (altered book category) and book art (books from diverse media) at the Central Library in Rochester tonight. This collage by Gareth Fitzgerald Barry called "Narrative Portrait: Frederick Douglass" hit me.
