Central New York Book Arts exhibition

Central New York Book Arts is an exhibition that features book works created by regional book artists, including students at Wells College in Aurora, N.Y., and the printmaking course in the School of Art and Design, College of Visual and Performing Arts, at Syracuse University. The 22 works in the exhibition illustrate a wide range of book structures, including sewn books, accordions, and sculptural works using such materials as clay, cloth, paper, leather, and parchment. Techniques used for text and imagery include letterpress printing, woodcuts, silk-screen, laser/inkjet, calligraphic, and combinations of these techniques.

The exhibition, which is being held in the Syracuse University Library from June 1 through August 17, can also be viewed online. Here is just one brilliant example, this one created by Beverly B Hettig:
