What is an Artist's Book?
Read Sue's Frequently Answered Questions.
ONE, TWO, BUCKLE MY SHOE Two ten year olds set loose in an artists studio left these images behind. For the fun of it, I thought I would bind them for the boys. As I was working with the pages, the old nursery rhyme kept running through my brain. I began to further manipulate the images until we now have a book that is not quite so innocent. Represented in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art Library. Copier prints on Mohawk Superfine paper. Hardcover. unlimited. Size 11"x 8 1/2" $65
PACK YOUR BAG A lightly, wryly quirky deck. Walking through the kitchen on a high anxiety day, an empty grocery bag loomed in front of me. Startled by it's seeming black-hole emptiness that threatened to suck me and all of my kitchen into nothingness, I wondered what I would put in the bag before that cataclysmic event occurred. So I wrote for days, at odd hours, a list of what I would do with an empty brown bag. Inkjet prints on commercial paper. laminated. 56 cards. limited edition of 100. Packed in it's own bown paper sack. $25
