My research interests explore a terrain as diverse as the book arts field itself.
Explorations include:
What is the role of private reflection as a guiding intention in book art, when our daily environment is dominated by 24/7 data streaming?
What is the meaning of community as it exists at the intersection of public and private, and how does art facilitate that boundary?
How has brain neurology changed as screen time supplants page time? What constitutes “reading” today? How will we read tomorrow?
How has the meaning of craft altered as artists increasingly employ digital technology in their practice? What are the implications for educators?
How can institutional collections heighten awareness of their treasures so that their college and university communities seek out those works? What can we learn from successful programmatic initiatives?
