COLLECTIONS

 

The world of Artist's Books can be a strange one. Usually shows of fine Artist's Books are under glass and therefore mostly inaccessible to the public. Barring coming to Quercus Press for Open Studios, your best bet to see my books is to visit one of the collections that owns my work. If you have never accessed books at a Special Collections before, they often seem intimidating at first, but the librarians will be more than excited to know you are interested in seeing a book they have in their collectin. Just as it is always gratifying for me to hear someone has seen one of my books used in a presentation at one of the libraries my work is housed, it is gratifying for those working at the libraries to discover people are interested in experiencing first hand the books in the library. I know it takes effort to go someplace to see something in person, but it is such a special feeling to realize that in this country of public access we all have the right to walk into these great institutions and ask to see and hold and read the great books. So, here are the places to go for my work:
