Conclusion

Adjective, technique, color, image, paper, structure, layout.

Collect, collate, create, connect, collaborate, construct, compile.

Re-consider, re-construct, re-start, re-trace, re-move, re-member, re-tell.

Five seconds, five hours, five days, five years.

Outer space, inner workings, deepest secrets, potent manifestoes, your PhD research, your mother's secret family recipes, the meaning of life, the little things you see on your daily commute.

You can join this world, the world of artists' books, no matter who or where you are. No matter where you're coming from, what drives you to join in.

Just start!

To make an appointment with SMFA special collections, email Darin Murphy and let us know your research interests. To become a book artist, look into the depths of your soul, gather your tools, spin around three times and do absolutely whatever you want, then call it a book (and if it's any good, call us, we want it.)
