- I'm sitting here now with photographer…Susan K Grant.…You may have seen Susan in my latest composition course.…She does some incredible work with shadows.…But, Susan, for years, you also taught…the making of artist's books.…And I think a lot of people may not know what that term is.…So we got some in front of us.…What are these?…What is an artist book?…- An artist book is a book that is usually…some sort of mixed media.…Usually has an original photograph in.…And they're made by hand.…Sometimes they have letter press,…sometimes, other forms of writing.…And the whole idea of the artist book is to use…materials to echo the content or your emotions…of what you're trying to express.…
- Okay, that's a lofty statement.…And we're going to see some examples of that…to make that a little bit clearer.…Let's start with one of these.…He's a pretty simple artist book done by one…of your students.…Let's start with this one.…- This particular book is what we call…a oriental stab binding.…Has handmade paper front and back.…And a ribbon is what holds it together.…
