Artist Book "fabrication" received Honorable Mention at the Book As Art Exhibition!

I received an email the other day with a notification that my book "Fabrication" was selected as an Honorable Mention in the Book As Art Exhibition! It is such an honor to have been selected to exhibit, and even more of an honor to be an Honorable Mention! There is an online slide show and catalog of the exhibition on the Decatur Arts Alliance website. To view it, please follow the link here.

Here's an excerpt from the email: 

"...Fabrication, was designated by the jurors as an Honorable Mention in this year’s exhibition. ...the jurors stated that “. . . the concept, material, and dimensions suggest the range of the genre while provoking the viewer’s curiosity, grasp, and appreciation.”

The exhibition's Gala is in September. I am excited to attend and view the awesome work that is there.
