EPISODE NOTES:
We’re back in Denver this week to meet Alicia Bailey, a studio artist from Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe, Colorado Certified.
Alicia adores working with art objects. She hopes that her artists’ books help you broaden your world, spend a more extended time with an artwork, and see how it feels to have an intimate experience with an art object. To be able to hold it in your hands and then not know what’s going to happen when you turn the page is a pretty exciting thing.
What do you think of artwork that you can interact with more directly? Please consider sharing your thoughts in the comments below!
