An exhibit of book art by writer and artist Paul Lisson is currently on display at Bryan Prince Bookseller in Hamilton and runs until October 30th. Lisson writes in his artist's statement,
My interest in the book has evolved.
Are books, in the way I understand them, going the way of the fountain pen and the typewriter and the rotary phone? So which way am I going, with my fountain pen and typewriter and rotary phone?
I now seek out book anomalies and ghosted images.
My interest in the book has evolved.
Scroll down to look at images from the show. If you're in the Hamilton area, stop by Bryan Prince Bookseller's to see Lisson's remarkable work.
