This course explores the interpretation of our natural surroundings through artist books and boxes. Students from diverse printmaking and bookmaking backgrounds are welcome. The workshop strikes a balance between hands-on construction of book and box structures, independent work, and engaging discussions encompassing various media processes, materials, and how the natural world intertwines these ideas. Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to create unusual folded paper book structures, paper boxes, false accordion/flutter book structures, single-section hardcovers, leading to simple multi-tray box structures. Demonstrations will also cover image and text generation methods to assist students in translating their ideas onto the page. Each student’s work will be uniquely tailored to their material storytelling interests, visual collections, and natural curiosities, should they wish to incorporate them.
