The second story is about air as breath and wind. This story winds itself around the other two throughout the book. The third story is a series of vignettes featuring more concrete memories (freedom, wind, breath, flight) and are represented by the text “patches”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499828052342-O09FTWEI6XDQLAHAT9RO/air+3.jpg Artist's Books - Air Size: 10” W x 9.5” x 1.5” (closed); 21.5” x 9.5” x 1.5 (open) Media: Silk (organza, net, organza satin), cotton (mull), thread (metal, cotton), graphite, inkjet, gouache, incense, button, tulle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499829257764-5XQOCEF039PVX7OXU47S/earth+1.jpg Artist's Books - Earth Earth provides exterior, or outward appearance and interior views of a body (corpus) and bearer.

It symbolizes the physical transformation of the outward appearance in order to make a statement. This statement moves beyond natural physical attributes and traditional “rules” about hairstyle and texture and often conveys political attitudes within micro-social structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499827863642-RDFH5EYMIL86LJYV6M3Y/afrocentric+2.jpg Artist's Books - Afrocentric Media: Synthetic hair, handmade paper made of recycled paper and human hair, thread, linen cord, unknown commercial paper.

It is based on early struggles that many women of African descent underwent in order to gain acceptance of their natural (i.e. non-chemically altered) hair in the workplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499828744423-BFNZF4HN6KY2VTTRFL1P/bad+hair+detail1.jpg Artist's Books - Bad Hair Though most of the women’s styles were based on a fusion of traditional western and African hairstyles (ex. A braided bob style), the styles were considered unacceptable for work. In many cases, the women were either asked to change their hairstyle or were fired. Bad Hair features text from editorials and quotes relating to those who brought suit for being terminated by their employers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499828756625-YWOK7IH59ZQNV9KU5KAJ/bad+hair+open+final.jpg Artist's Books - Bad Hair Size: 7” W x 10” x 1.5” 14” x 7” (open) Media: Paper, canvas, graphite Structure: Altered book with flag book insert Unique https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499828761694-KPHCAZOOBRA7FR4RT481/bone+straight+1.jpg Artist's Books - Bone Straight At a very young age, many Black women in particular receive messages that their hair in its natural state falls outside the accepted standard of beauty. Though natural hair is currently accepted in broader circles, and straight hair is just another option, the underlying message often remains that natural hair is unacceptable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499828863657-KASBVH7HF02JCVKM5YIP/bone+straigt+3.jpg Artist's Books - Bone Straight This book features excerpts of conversations with women about their hair straightening experiences including some of my own.

Each book features a different “style.” The pieces were created during a time when there was much political dialog on the national, state and local level concerning (illegal) immigration. Often the dialog took an underlying tone of intolerance and had little to do with immigration status. The tones of intolerance (which were cross-cultural), reminded me of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s during integration. The hair treatment symbolizes how much activity, creativity and life happens on the “edges” of mainstream society, regardless of whether or not it is recognized. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1503719729391-79WJQASN682C8AV24V5I/Edges+thread+wrap.jpg Artist's Books - Edges (thread wrap) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1503719677613-4Q3M5BETYQ5AH0426V86/Edges+twist.jpg Artist's Books - Edges (twist) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499830302210-DLYU9EMVB3AE3QOREBNH/Integument+1.jpg Artist's Books - Integument Physically and metaphorically, skin functions as a protective covering and plays a significant role in identity. Integument examines various meanings that can be contained in our skins. The front side of the accordion contains layers discussing the science of skin and how its topography has the potential to evoke memory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499829811861-THD1O8OJLR8GTXJIQTED/Integument+2.jpg Artist's Books - Integument There remains a barrier between “public” skin and “private” skin – that is, the division of scientific knowledge of the events that lead to a mark and what an individual thinks, remembers or concludes based on events that surround the mark. The reverse side of the accordion offers an example of the layers of meaning that can occur in an individual response. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499829815101-60LDMKDGXE9CUN8YXC3X/Integument+3.jpg Artist's Books - Integument Size: 4.75 H x 5” x 1.25” Media: Handmade papers – subai, mitsumata, gampi, sugar cane, fig leaf, rice, straw, and flax; commercial rayon paper; cotton muslin; leather; thread.

Closets, by their very nature are memory keepers – even in the sparest environment they reveal something about the owner, and in cases where generations of owners have used them, closets can function as historical records.

A look was usually accompanied by a story that brought to life persons unknown but not forgotten.

Rosenwald tells the story of the importance that two such schools played in the lives of a family living in southern Louisiana. Told as a snapshot, the book recalls a story of hardship, determination and triumph. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499831085093-YH6Y4PORD1QOR03ZVZ3A/rosenwald+2.jpg Artist's Books - Rosenwald During a trip to my parent’s hometown in Louisiana, I passed by the spot where a gas station once stood. The story begins as I remember looking out across the street from the station years ago in that same spot, gazing at the school across the street. The image of the school sparks a flood of memories of family stories spanning two generations and is told in one sentence. The main character in the story is my aunt Vie, who was a teacher and then a librarian for the schools. While researching material for this book, I learned about the important role the Rosenwald schools played in the education of African Americans in the South in the early 20th century. I intended the book to be in a form that would allow it to be read by either unfolding it bit by bit to reveal the story, or hung on a wall and viewed in total. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499831139832-KZT8WHJE2DP3DHS3NNME/rosewald+3.jpg Artist's Books - Rosenwald Size: 7”H x 12-1/4” x 2” (closed); 50”H (open) Media: Linen (bookcloth), silk satin, silk organza, silk and cotton thread, glass, Bertini paper, Johannot papersilk tissue, linen book tape, graphite, oak Structure: Sewn pamphlet with envelope wrap cover Edition: 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499831119310-K1PBKY1PLBY5FZFR0Q6B/storm+sequence+1.jpg Artist's Books - Storm Sequence Katrina non-withstanding, Louisiana weather history is fraught with floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and other violent storms causing much damage and loss of life. Modern technology can offer little protection for those caught in them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499831128822-LD2UJWXRCYFC4LP9XH22/storm+sequence+2.jpg Artist's Books - Storm Sequence This book outlines the spirit of a ritual that my aunt would perform when the weather turned ugly. On an approaching storm, all would be called inside and though natives would consider the ritual a normal occurrence giving it little attention, being a visitor, I considered it to be a dramatic performance. Years later, I learned that my aunt was not alone in performing the Storm Sequence - it was practiced in some form by many in Pointe Coupee parish and possibly(probably) beyond. More recently, my aunt informed me that she still performs the sequence, though in an abbreviated format. The book is loosely patterned after the homemade shrines observed in some of my relatives homes. The numbers on the inside of the doors are years of documented significant damage caused by storms in the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499831354885-I5B6NP4S6ZZE8USHRJ1P/storm+sequence+3.jpg Artist's Books - Storm Sequence Size: 12.75” H x 9.25” x 1.75” Media: Wood, bookboard, commercial papers, synthetic plaster, screws, glass, acrylic, oil Structure: Accordion enclosed in frame with hinged doors Edition: 5 + 1AP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/1499829874710-8BC6HPBOLWW37EE0GT8J/Island+Girl+1.jpg Artist's Books - Island Girl I am interested in personal stories as they are often singular and universal.

A Day in Richmond - Make it stand out After my five-week residency at Oaks Spring Garden Foundation (OSGF) last year, I spent a whirlwind of a week visiting friends in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area. During that week, I visited fellow book artist and most gracious host, IBé Crawley in Richmond, Virginia. IBé greeted me with Welcome! All roads lead to Richmond, did you know that? She proceeded to share some of the deep history of the city that resulted in my most recent book, A Day in Richmond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/89e142a3-2971-429d-a68e-f118f9fe0733/IMG_0898.jpg News - A Day in Richmond - Make it stand out The train station where I arrived is located in Shockhoe Bottom, which was the center of Richmond’s slave trade and there are several historical sites nearby, including the African Burial Ground and Lumpkin’s Slave Jail. Two brass plaques marking the Richmond Slave Trail were embedded in the ground at the jail compound, and I mentioned offhandedly that I’d take rubbings had I thought to bring some paper and crayons. Well, IBé later produced some clay from her studio, and we returned to the site to roll the clay over the markers,. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/2e82acdf-9d4d-4260-8169-a14be0bbf6ba/Open.jpg News - A Day in Richmond - Make it stand out Fortunately, I took lots of notes that evening, which came in handy for the text, which incorporates some of the writing on both tiles. Each page takes the reader along a tour of the city, starting with the train station and ending at IBé Arts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/94c087a7-a9b8-4f4f-85f5-254bdde0a704/back%2Bblue%2Bstripe.jpg News - A Day in Richmond - Make it stand out I visited IBé’s studio, a historic building built by enslaved men, which she lovingly restored. From her art center we walked one block, to the former Appomattox Plantation and General Grant’s headquarters at City Point in Hopewell, Virginia. On the grounds grew wild grapes, figs, ginko, and pear trees, among others. After I returned home, IBé kindly gathered and sent plant samples, which I collographed onto board and frottaged onto the back of the accordion. Additional leaves were frottaged in color, cut out and collaged onto the back side of the accordion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/3f1a4939-b315-4c4b-93b8-0addb59de7f2/IMG_0524.JPG News - A Day in Richmond - Make it stand out As I painted watercolor onto the backs of the accordions, my application became freer and more saturated in color, with the blue granulating in pools. It seemed a shame to add additional paint - watercolors often have other things in mind - so I let them be. Five books have full color backs and five have only blue bands. A Day in Richmond is an edition of 11 and it is also a travelogue. The techniques and materials used in this project reflect my goal for the book to have an immediacy - as though it was created (almost) that day in Richmond. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/27/working-the-remanent-talk-at-bima monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/d404a6f8-8cb4-436d-8a8b-11aa007b4aba/AB_color_0040.jpg News - Working the Remanent Talk at BIMA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/25/boston-athenaeum-who-is-america-at-250 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/42c6eae2-2c8c-4bb5-8db6-270f30908bd4/Who%252Bis%252BAmerica%252Bcatalog%252Bimage.jpg News - Boston Athenaeum: Who is America at 250? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/25/workshop-at-bainbridge-barn monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/92c02b68-db98-44b2-a5e3-1b904f0b0a13/flipping%2Bwith%2Blogo.jpg News - Workshop at Bainbridge BARN - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/25/texas-tech-university-what-is-an-art-quilt monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/45347426-e0f5-406a-b739-6be77264b179/Stitchpunk%2Bcatalog%2B-%2Bcover.jpg News - Texas Tech University: What is an ARt Quilt - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/27/what-is-an-artists-book-at-bima monthly 0.5 2026-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/dd6ae43e-397c-4ea7-a49d-86a71301f277/bima+-+1.jpg News - What is an Artist's book? at BIMA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/27/oak-springs-garden-foundation-residency-part-3 monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/53122012-a8d6-439a-ba95-8259309ff0a6/IMG_8387.JPG News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/5476148f-0d45-41ed-a1bc-fdd175b474d1/DSC_5921.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/31caa96a-577f-4348-a900-cf02f74922e8/IMG_8360.JPG News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/eab635d8-d108-4c89-9fcc-fa3f9a9dd1b9/IMG_8160.jpeg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/695804e7-1ee1-40aa-bb7d-aa07c0845d85/DSC_5915.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 3 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/27/oak-springs-garden-foundation-residency-part-2 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/e1e03de2-f9b9-459c-ac07-39b3acb7ef12/IMG_8775.JPG News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/8ddf2de5-957a-4d7b-bf0b-96fc5f6bc7ef/Fauquier+long+fold+detail.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 2 - Make it stand out Fauquier 10,455, open https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/17746c95-81c5-4772-acac-4bc33aaab5af/Searching+front+botton+detail.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 2 - Make it stand out Searching/Finding https://www.alisabanks.com/news/2026/3/27/oak-springs-garden-foundation-residency-part-1 monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/e160f538-3001-41b1-95d9-8d41df607602/IMG_8767.png News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 1 - Make it stand out Last summer, I spent 5 glorious weeks as a resident artist at Oak Spring Garden Foundation (OSGF) in Upperville, Virginia. My first visit to OSGF was in 2021, to attend a two-week residential course in papermaking using wild plants with Alyssa Saccora of The Patchwork Underground. After that initial visit, I learned that on OSGF land and in the surrounding area were a number of farms maintained by slave labor until the end of the Civil War. I learned the names of six of the enslaved persons working on OSGF land, and immediately decided that if I ever returned, I would focus on finding more names and learning about their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/db6a8f81-e0b1-42af-a5e6-9873b156d135/IMG_8321.JPG News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 1 - Make it stand out I decided on another goal during that second visit to OSGF: to explore the landscape, particularly considering the native flora that the enslaved would have encountered. This required lots of hiking! Fortunately, our cohort included folks who routinely walk the wilds, including housemate Barbara Bosworth, who accompanied me on most of my ventures – identifying and collecting samples of native flora. I also read that many of the native plants may have been used for food and medicine. Plants were also used for protection, and among the enslaved of the African Diaspora, a practice was to place plants, beads, and other items into pouches that were worn around the neck, sometimes containing text or other symbology. These pouches go by several names, including mojo, juju, and gris-gris. This inspired two new works, A Gathering and Gris-gris. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/88649392-4fe6-4e86-b567-120a78a35e8c/Gathering+and+Grisgris+large.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 1 - Make it stand out Gathering (left) and Gris-gris (right) For Gris-gris, plants and found objects were placed in pouches and hung on the wall in a circle. The text on several of the pouches features medicinal plant usages. Gris-gris is a unique artist’s book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/e2db6ff1-2274-409d-943d-41ab16b16b35/Gris-gris+large.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 1 - Make it stand out Gris-gris The original (or prototype) version of A Gathering consisted of fresh plants with their names hung in a circle on the studio wall. The plants became withered and twisted, and were discarded upon leaving OSGF, but samples were pressed and later used to make prints for one edition, which also features names and usages of the plants that were gathered. A Gathering is a double-sided one sheet book – one side can be unfolded and read – that can be suspended and viewed from both sides. A Gathering is an edition of three. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59658650ebbd1aad5f39e4ee/ba76d695-4d91-48c3-b1ba-b55eb0124363/Front.jpg News - Oak Springs Garden Foundation Residency, Part 1 -
