Of making many books there is no end. The Magic of Word, Image and Form of the Book opens October 22, and My fascination with the format of the book and the continual exploration of structure and content variations have their beginnings in the magic and escapism that books provided me during my formative years in Iowa City, Iowa. When I was eleven, my father moved the entire family from Nevada to Iowa to earn a doctorate in modern art history. In Iowa City my attentions turned to a voracious study of archeology. When I began making books, I saw the entire process as a continuation of the temptation Eve faced in the Garden of Eden.
Some books reflect a spiritual journey through the study of myth.
