Tactile Poetry: Artist's Books by Abby Leigh and Susan Gosin with Nazanin Noroozi

Artists Abby Leigh, Susan Gosin, and Nazanin Noroozi explore Leigh and Gosin’s work combining printmaking and hand papermaking in the form of artists’ books. As the inaugural Marabeth Cohen-Tyler Print/Paper Fellow, Nazanin selected two key works dealing with materiality, tactility, and literature: One Evening, (2011) by Abby Leigh, held in the collections of MoMA and the Whitney Museum of Art, and Emily Dickinson, Selected Poems, (1980) by Susan Gosin, held in the collections of Virginia Commonwealth University and University of Michigan. Both books approach the combination of handmade paper, intaglio, and poetry with distinctive artistic perspectives and exceptional craftsmanship. In this webinar, the artists discuss collaboration and the creative process. This event was recorded live on Oct 25th, 2022.
Special thanks to the IFPDA Foundation for their generous support of this program.
