OVERVIEW
 
Artist Books widely evade a formal definition because of the complexity of the book form. Some Artist Books focus on historic process like fine binding, letterpress printing and the use of handmade paper. Some focus on narrative elements with or without a formal bound structure. Others are conceptually driven to deconstruct the elements of the book to form new and innovative structures.

I made the drawings for the linoleum blocks, carved the blocks and printed the illustrations for each poem on the schools' Vandercook 1. This books was printed in an edition of .
 
Book is created in memory of my grandmother, Helen, who passed away from Alzheimer's disease.
