Chicago artist Karen Hanmer will introduce the range of her work, which includes artists’ books, design bindings and installation. Hanmer’s intimate, playful works fragment and layer text and image to intertwine memory, cultural history, and the history of science. She exhibits widely, and her work is included in numerous collections. She serves as Exhibitions Chair for the Guild of Book Workers, and on the editorial board of The Bonefolder.
"Karen Hanmer is that rare artist who thoroughly understands the vast potential of the book as an art form. Her books consistently unify structure and content in a way that makes her work unforgettable. At the same time, you can tell that she's having a heck of a lot of fun, too."
—John Cutrone, Book Arts Coordinator, The Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center for Book Arts, Florida Atlantic University.
