Thursday May 10th, Juror Eileen Wallace announced three award winning entries and three honorable mentions in the 5th Annual Juried Student Artist’s Book Competition. The award winning entires will become part of the ACA Library’s permanent Artist’s Book Collection. The award winners are:First Place, pictured above- Zobiede by Samira Rahimi. Samira is a graduate student in Motion Media Design in Atlanta. Her book was a clear favorite— it’s original yet surprising in its simplicity. Zobiede is a short story by Italo Calvino which is included in the collection ‘Invisible Cities’; Zobiede is the ‘white city’. In Samira’s book, the city takes shape as you turn each page— the laser cut pages accumulate to reveal a topographical space complete with inhabitants and park benches. Marshall Weber, Collection Development director for Booklyn Artist’s Alliance, offered to represent Samira’s work if she decides to make more artists’ books in the future.Second Place- Veil by Alison Batley and Aaron Brown. Alison and Aaron are both graduate students in Printmaking. Veil is produced with silkscreen, etching, and hand-sewn silk; it is a technically pristine piece of work while also exhibiting an original structure design and a complex concept, which is explained in the book’s colophon.Third Place- Untitled by Kendra Wiklund. Kendra is a Sophomore Fibers major in Savannah. Her work is a clear coptic bound book; it is made of etched acrylic and the pages form a composite portrait. The honorable mentions went to:One to Ten, a counting book by Illustration graduate student Thomas Burns. (ATL)September Issue, a shaped book by Fibers sophomore Lauren Miller. (SAV)Walk, Look, and Listen, a screenprinted accordion book by graduate Printmaking student Elizabeth Castaldo. (ATL)
These books, along with nineteen other impressive artworks are on display in the ACA Library’s Artist’s Book Room through July 10th. Email Mary Murphy at mmurphy@scad.edu for additional information.
