Karleigh Heywood Solo Book Arts Show at Snow College, Ephraim Utah




This show is 38 book art pieces made with a teacher's mind.  Karleigh says, "I was trying to show others what artists books are and can be.  A daunting task since we book artists can't all agree on the definition or let alone the apostrophe in artists' books...or is it artist's books?"

The show is separated into six parts (Concept, Size, House, Materials, Structure, Content)--it sounds really great.

The artist reception is this Friday from 5-7 pm and the show will be up through October 9th.
It is located in the Art Gallery in the Humanities Building (100 North), Ephraim Utah.

You can see some of the pieces on Karleigh's instagram page: 



Thanks Karleigh for the information and felicitations~
