Artist Statement
I am an artist and educator whose work explores fairy tales, the body, graphic and narrative medicine, as well as collective storytelling practices through mechanical books that combine animation and paper craft. My interests are in combining technology, traditional book arts, and sequential storytelling to create new forms of narrative for the 21st century. My movable books can be found in museum, library, and university collections internationally including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, the British Library, Children’s Literature Library of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Boston Public Library, Cooper-Hewitt Museum Library, Harvard Medical School Countway Library, Savannah College of Art & Design, School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, Scripps College, the Struwwelpeter Museum, Swarthmore College, the University of Pennsylvania, The Wellcome Collection, as well as many private collections.
