One artist's whimsical and inspiring way to keep track of the books she has read, Book Marks is a visual journey through a lifetime of reading and remembering that features 434 richly illustrated artworks created on old library checkout cards; each collage or drawing distills the contents of a single title.
This alluring blend of art book and autobiographywill capture the imagination. At its heart are hundreds of captivating 3 x 5-inch artworks--intricate collages and drawings created on old library checkout cards, each one representing a book that left an indelible mark on artist Barbara Page. She began creating these illustrated "book marks" as a colorful way to remember titles she was currently reading. Before long, Page embarked on a decade-long art project recreating her reading history, starting with picture books from early childhood.
Every artwork serves as a bookmark for a moment in time connected to a specific title, and, as a collection, they present over seventy years of literature, politics, thought, and culture--as colored by one woman's reading choices. Some images may evoke your own memories of a story. Others may feel like little puzzles that require reading or rereading a title to interpret the artistic references.
Over half of the more than 800 cards housed in a two-drawer library case are illustrated here. Interwoven with personal accounts of the artist's life, each card represents a literary work that drives the narrative, directly and indirectly. Book Marks underscores the interplay between our experiences and our reading and can remind us how a good book can linger in our mind for months, if not years.
These compelling artworks resonate and inspire, as will Page's story. Like many, the artist discovers strength in the words of authors many of us know and love, and, through reading, she gains knowledge that feeds her personal growth and scientific interest in the world around her. As Page's life is disrupted by tragedies--one husband's mental illness and another's decline into dementia--she forges forward, finding new focus and reinventing her life.
Features for readers:
- A complete bibliographic list of books referenced in the artworks--fiction, science, art, gardening, travel, history, biography, aviation, ecology, children's literature, and more--to inspire future reading
- Author and title indices for easy referencing of the 434 artworks
- Bound with two ribbon bookmarks, allowing readers to mark their place in both the chapter and the plate section

À propos de l’auteur
Barbara Page is an artist, triathlete, and avid reader. She received her MFA from Cornell University and is a fellow of the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and was artist-in-residence at the Golden Foundation. Page's work is included in museum and corporate collections. The Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, New York, was designed around her series of 544 bas-relief paintings depicting the history of life--Rock of Ages, Sands of Time. The University of Chicago Press published a book on the project in 2001. In 2012 she completed a commission for a geological timeline on a 140-foot-long pedestrian bridge and a mural at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh. This "Bridge Across Time" displays 268 porcelain tiles and connects the two buildings of the museum. Her love affair with printed matter led to the Book Marks project, which currently includes more than 800 library checkout cards that have been converted into compact artworks. The project was exhibited at The Center for Book Arts in New York City and at various libraries as part of a traveling group show, Artists in the Archives: A Collection of Card Catalogs.
