The book has played a major role in the evolution of human thought, serving as a vessel for knowledge and a safeguard against forgetting. Its material form – pages, ink, glue, and string – captivates is, even – and perhaps especially – in this digital age. These Winston-Salem-based artists explore how books encapsulate information and emotion, probing what the medium of paper can do and enhancing our understanding of books as artistic, political, and economic objects.
Paper Thick: Art, Books, Paper presents the work of Paul Travis Phillips, Leslie Smith, and Nicole Uzzell.
