Book artist Alisa Banks will discuss the relationship between content and form in creating artists’ books.

For example, her work When is now?, a recent acquisition of the U-M Library, is comprised of a circular wooden box that, when opened, contains what appears to be the top of a person’s head. As you peer into the box, only the person’s hair is visible, nestled in the bottom of the container. A poem encircles the lid. Banks will walk us through a selection of her works and the decisions that went into their eventual forms.

Presented by the University of Michigan Library as part of a Book Arts Studio series.
