Artist Books
These artists’ books are made by local fiber and book artist, Diane Franklin.
Artists’ books are an intriguing category of art, one that greatly expands the viewer’s idea about what constitutes a book.
These books were made over several years, utilizing original collages, gelliprints, and photographs, taken during her frequent travel to Europe. The work and techniques of other book artists have inspired Diane as she learned the art of making books and honed her skills. She also appreciates that an artist’s book, from concept to completion, can be made in weeks rather than months, unlike large fiber pieces that often take several months to complete.
