Description
Laura Davidson makes books, drawings, paper mosaics and prints. ”Inspired by a metal book I found in Lucca decades ago… with unusual letter forms that have had a major influence in my thinking about art making - patterns, letter forms, text blocks, etc. …At the time I created this book, I had been researching early printed books at the Houghton Library and the Boston Athenaeum. …The books became purely visual objects to experience, rather than something that needed to be read to be understood. …” Emails from Laura Davidson, August 2023.
