Book Art By Victoria May
In this workshop, students will learn how to make a modular folded structure to create an accordion book with layers, windows, and pop-ups with artist Victoria May. Explore conveying an idea or telling a story through text, images and structural shifts in the paper treatment. Use stencils and rubbings to translate abstract concepts into visual motifs that transition over the course of the pages.
Victoria May uses fabric and stitching as the basis for mixed-media artworks and installations that address the tenderness and absurdity in the human condition. She is an avid advocate for material re-use and frequently does so in her own work. She currently teaches Book Arts and Textile Arts at Cabrillo College, San Francisco State University and in workshop settings. In 2010 she received a Santa Cruz County Rydell Fellowship. In 2015, she was named an Artist Laureate by Silicon Valley Creates. She exhibits in the Bay Area and nationally.
