Alice AustinPhiladelphia, PennsylvaniaVenice Studio View12½ x 7½ x 3 etching and linoleum cuts ed 6 © 2012 $1000Venice Studio View is a tunnel book inspired by the feel of Venice, a city built on water, full of narrow canals and tight spaces. The light play on buildings and water is evoked by using etchings, one for the background, and one cut to make two other layers. Linoleum prints, based on the pattern of an iron window grill, make the front and sides. The tunnel book is housed in a blue paste paper covered box with a magnetic closure. Alice Austin is a printmaker and book artist. She is a lecturer at the University of the Arts, teaching book structures, and also works as a book conservator at the Library Company of Philadelphia, a rare book library founded in 1731 by Benjamin Franklin. Her works are held in private, public and special collections worldwide. |
