Field GuideHelland, Madeline 01 January 2018 (has links)
Field Guide is a mixed-media artist book detailing the exploration of a fictitious culture through cartography, narrative, and illustration. It is presented through the lens of an amateur archaeologist, navigating a chain of islands to search for ruins and artifacts. In part, the project is focused on the fantasy of an imagined world. The island chain is a place entirely of my own creation. By creating the viewpoint of an outside explorer, it was possible to navigate through this world. Although I, as the artist, can know everything about this fictitious world, adopting the perspective of someone distanced by time and place allowed for discrepancies, misinterpretation, and the sense of mystery that typically colors interpretations of foreign, ancient cultures. This character is forced to fill in the context for what she is viewing based upon her conjectures, which may or may not reveal the full truth. Overall, perspective on cultures is often shaped by the observations of a few individuals. In the same way, viewers are forced to consider this culture through the lens of one character, without being entirely certain if they are consuming objective truths.

Experiencing artists' books : haptics and intimate discovery in the work of Estelle Liebenberg-Barkhuizen and Cheryl Penn.Haskins, Phillipa. January 2013 (has links)
This dissertation centres on the classification of artists’ books based on the qualities they possess as works of art as well as the intimate engagement required by the reader in order to experience such works in their entirety.
Among the qualities investigated are intimacy through the use of novelty devices, haptics, text, narrative and concrete systems, space, and shape. These qualities are exemplified through works by Estelle Liebenberg-Barkhuizen and Cheryl Penn. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2013.

Like AlikeZevenbergen, Jill 01 January 2009 (has links)
Like Alike explores notions of pleasure and beauty through an examination of mundane activity. Pleasure is simple, uncomplicated niceness. Pleasure is forgettable and related to the norm. Beauty is complicated and hardly predicted. Finding beauty in the banal provides an escape from mundane life. The banal, then becomes unforgettable. The nondescript, everyday experience becomes important and gains meaning. Like Alike's electronic format is adapted from the original format of an artist book.

Fostering Creativity Using Special Library Collections: A Case Study of The Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center For The Book ArtsUnknown Date (has links)
This dissertation examines the Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center for the Book Arts
(JCBA) at Florida Atlantic University, focusing on creativity. Sixteen artists whose
artwork is collected by the center were chosen to provide an overview of the creative
process of book artists: Susan Allix, Julie Chen, Béatrice Coron, Johanna Drucker,
Timothy Ely, Karen Hanmer, Linda K. Johnson, Marie Marcano, Bea Nettles, Matthew
Reinhart, Robert Sabuda, Susan Joy Share, Keith Smith, Beth Thielen, Carol Todaro, and
Marshall Weber. The artists and the JCBA were selected for this study not only because
these artists‘ books provide a unique opportunity to explore the creative processes of their
makers, since many points of creative decision must be made, but also because artist‘s
books by definition are often conceived, written, designed, printed, and bound by an
individual artist. The list contains several artists who have been important to the historical
development of the artist‘s book or pop-up publishing fields. Their influence ranges in scope from the historical to the international, national, and local, especially in terms of
the JCBA.
This dissertation should be useful to creativity researchers and students of the
book arts because it is the first study to use qualitative research and creativity studies as a
lens to investigate the artifacts and creative processes of artists in the book arts genre, as
well as the first to use the case study approach to examine a book arts center and its
educational practices with the focus of creativity research.
With these goals in mind, concept maps were first created to document the artists‘
internal and external processes of creation, while master composite maps were compiled
to facilitate a meta-analysis of their experienced creativity. The JCBA was then profiled,
and its educational programs, practices, and policies were documented in order to
describe and demonstrate how it encourages the creativity of book artists, as well as how
its creativity-enhancing practices are established and traced into associated organizations.
A model of how the organization does this is proposed and discussed with the intention
of enhancing this effect at the JCBA and in other book arts organizations. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A Tale of Two Mappae Mundi: The Map Psalter and its Mixed-Media MapsLa Porte, Melissa 18 May 2012 (has links)
This thesis investigates small-scale mappae mundi, world maps, created in the thirteenth-century, which record the historical, mythical, social, and religious reality of the world for wealthy English patrons. My research focuses on two maps found in a Psalm book (British Library Add. MS 28681, f. 9 and f. 9v) on either side of a single page. One depicts the world in typical mappae mundi fashion, with Jerusalem at the centre of a network of cities, topographic features and monstrous creatures while the other lists place names and geographic descriptions. The maps depict the world in very different manners, one textually and the other visually, but their placement on the same leaf emphasizes their connection. This work explores the iconography, socio-historic context and literary precedence of mappae mundi in order to comprehend the distinct need for mixed-media to represent and understand a complex worldly existence in thirteenth-century England.

The Ghost Water exhibition of artworks by Michael Sharp was comprised of four main works titled: 30 x 60 Minute Grid Series, Suspension, History/Prehistory, and Lake Bonneville Remnants.

Language of the Book : Volume I–III Investigations of the conceptual and bodily experience of reading and making books / Bokens SpråkBornedal, Kajsa January 2021 (has links)
The project Language of the Book Volume I-III explores the conceptual and the bodily experience of reading and making books. The essay presents the development of Volume I: Narracube consisting of three storytelling prototypes. With Narracube a format was developed that can invite stories to be told beyond single voices, linear time and fixed points of views. Narracube highlights the active role of a medium in transmission of a message. A book is never a neutral container for ink but an active space of communication in its mere contruction despite its content. / Projektet Bokens språk Volume I-III utforskar den konceptuella och kroppsliga upplevelsen av att läsa och göra böcker. Uppsatsen presenterar utvecklingen av Volume I: Narrakub som består av tre prototyper för berättande. Narrakub är ett format som utvecklats för att undersöka hur konstruktionen av boken kan bjuda in berättelser bortom enstaka röster, linjär tid och låsta perspektiv. Narrakub belyser den aktiva rollen som ett medium har då det sänder ett meddelande. En bok är aldrig en neutral behållare för bläck utan bär på ett aktivt kommunikationsutrymme i sin konstruktion oavsett innehåll.
