Carolyn Leigh: Artist's book series toc

[Barrio del Sur: 24k]

My books are my canvas. I like intense colors and dynamic forms that pass through the time and space of my art. The sculptural dimensions of my books, plus the fourth dimension of time as the pages are turned, balance variation and continuity.

Books are secrets shared between us, waiting to be touched, opened and discovered again and again. I invite you to hold my world in your hands.

My artist's books are in the library Special Collections of the University of Arizona, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, the public library collections of Newark, NJ and Cerrillos, CA and many private collections.

All books are one-of-a-kind and are made with archival materials.
