Karen Hanmer will discuss how her
interest in history and the history of the book inspires and informs her work.
Her artist-made books are physical manifestations of personal essays
intertwining history, culture, politics, science, and technology. She utilizes
both traditional and contemporary book structures, and the work is often
playful in content or format.
Karen won the jury prize for binding
in the 2009 Helen Warren DeGolyer American Bookbinding Competition. She is one
of only eight graduates of the American Academy of Bookbinding’s Fine Binding
program and she has studied with many notable fine binders. She is the author
of Contemporary Paper Bindings: A Guide To Bookbinding Techniques, Tools,
and Materials. More information: http://www.karenhanmer.com
