Lulu Marketplace

Maternal Legends, a juried exhibition of contemporary artist books, was exhibited at 23 Sandy Gallery December 5, 2008 through January 3, 2009. Mothers, grandmothers, sisters, stories, histories, legends, legacies. What did we learn from our mothers and their mothers and their mothers? What are the stories that have been passed down through the generations? How did the women in our family shape who we are today? Artists around the world were inspired to explore and celebrate our Maternal Legends through the magic of artist books. This exhibit was juried by Cara List, the Art and Art History Librarian at the University of Oregon’s Architecture and Allied Arts Library. This exhibition catalog showcases those artists included in the exhibit with full color photos of each work as well as artist statements for each work. A wonderful celebration of the book arts.
