Altered Books
There is something challenging in developing imagery in response to a given visual prompt. In working over the pages of an actual book, I have found myself not just responding to the text and images but also to the design layout of the page. I became particularly interested in the layout of late 50's/early 60's hardcover magazines such as Horizon, Venture, and Art In America. I created several thematically based books, incorporating drawing, painting, journaling, collage, and photographic imagery.
