The totally handmade books in this exhibition are tools used to explore and communicate ideas. Artists’ books function in the same way as contemporary art: as an expression of someone’s creativity, often with social commentary, but sometimes in a purely abstract way, in absence of words or recognizable imagery. These artists’ books adopt any and all forms of contemporary arts, plus forms of “craft” which have crept into contemporary art.
