A book begins as a small mass of material\ , formed and pressed into life by ideas\, words\, and machines. A concept becomes thought\, becomes word\, becomes book\, becomes sculpture. From th e tactile complexity of handmade paper\, to the alteration of existing vol umes\, to a variety of other materials and concepts\, these objects\, in a n increasingly digital world\, stubbornly survive. The objects in this exh ibition will interpret the concept of the book and invite the viewer to lo ok beyond the printed page to where word has become form.
