Book Art

 

Sunlight

Sunlight, 2007.

 

Book Art, or the art of creating artists books, is the process of producing book-objects that reference, often challenge, the book form, traditional or otherwise.

They are further defined by their intense physical and conceptual design considerations used to dictate an overall experience for the artist or viewer.

These books are created with the intent to be works of art. They share functionality with the traditional book in that they are containers of information, but need not follow through on sharing that information in a traditional or standardized manner.

The pages, leaves, scroll, tablet or other hosts of content need not be viewable; as such pages viewable need not contain text or image information. In so far as there is implied information in book form, the artist and viewer are able to read what is visible and derive an intellectual and emotional response for the rest.
