Drawing From Memory | Artists' Books Unshelved

In this episode of Artists’ Books Unshelved, we look at two distinct artist books that face the grief that arose after each artist lost their mother at a young age. “Flowers of Pakistan,” by Sana Masud, and “where are we now,” by Kyung Eun You, engage the questions and memories surrounding the impacts of their loss.

Now in season three, Artists’ Books Unshelved is an ongoing video series that takes the viewers directly into the pages, techniques, and perspectives from selected works in the Cynthia Sears Artists’ Books Collection. Informed by research and interviews, Artist's Books Unshelved offers an intimate viewing that highlights the artists' vision and process.

As an artist and bookbinder myself, I am impressed by the creative energy You devoted to her book. Kudos! on the reductive linocut printing!

I didn't know what to expect, and now that I've watched this, I realize expecting certain things is essentially folly. From now on, as I view Bainbridge Island videos, I'll just let them happen. Thank you very much for this.
Sincerely, Long Island, NY.

An empathetic look into powerful messages from these two women. I'm deeply enjoying my foray into Artist's Books, and am grateful that the internet and TH-cam makes that exploration possible. I'm old enough to have vivid memories of the times before these genies were let out of the bottle. The promise of the world opening to us in intricate detail has certainly come to pass, for better and for worse. These videos definitely fall into the for better category.
