Description
Professor Teresa Van Hatten and Dr. Danielle Alexander will explore how the book arts blur the boundaries between nature, manufactured object, visual representation, and text, from their respective points of view of as visual artist and creative writer. The presentation will focus especially on Van Hatten's altered books, which make extensive use of natural and manufactured materials and which comment on the human impulse to classify and preserve natural objects, as well as the ways we use books to construct, classify, and preserve our "selves."
