Artworks of monumental physical scale are overwhelming. The diminutive viewer is confronted and consumed by the gigantic. Presented with the miniature, the viewer, no longer assigned to the passive role, might instead devour the work, taking it into his or her soul. The miniature invites the viewer into a personal and intimate relationship. With attention drawn to the significance of the seemingly insignificant, the momentousness of the miniscule is magnified thus instilling monumental value. This curated exhibition will investigate the power of small-scale artists' books to challenge their readers with grand, powerful, urgent, and poignant content.
More information about my book in this exhibition, Rock on Rocks, can be found here.
