Gathering Spaces
Anne Kresge

Almost as an architect, Ann plays and invents endless structures while creating her artist books. Ann absorbed colors, shapes and textures that came across her during her tours of Buenos Aires, and she presented them at the July 2018 ´aceNITE.

Gathering Spaces is a one-of-a-kind artist book which consists of collagraph and a slit concertina binding structure. The conceptual base is the creation of a contemplative space.  The intent of the artist is for the viewer to reflect upon the act of gathering; formally as in the gathering of materials, paper and folds, and conceptually as in the gathering of communities.

FLow is a one-of-a-kind artists book incorporating collagraph and the composite binding structure of the double concertina. The conceptual base of the book is the interaction of the elements: water, air and earth moving into and through each other. The artist’s intent is that the viewer investigates the book by visually traveling through its architecture and in doing so discovers the interactions of its elements.
