About

The twelve artists involved in the exhibition, were invited to respond to books, either as stories, or characters and writers that inspired them, or to use a wider interpretation to investigate them as forms, symbols, materials, and metaphors. Exploring Imagery, language and the mysticism of books, book covers, pages, typography and titles.

The Book is both a physical artifact, a metaphor, a repository of memory, or a carrier of personal history. Mediums used include printmaking, sculpture, photography, text-based art, and mixed media.

The aim of the exhibition is to celebrate the book in all its wonderful forms—its materiality, its memories, and its myths. A place for readers, non-readers, and anyone who may have ever only judged a book by its cover.
