Ex Libris
1 April 2022 @ 12:00 am – 31 May 2022 @ 11:59 pm EDT
Ex Libris is a traveling exhibit from the Guild of American Papercutters that celebrates books and reading. The exhibit includes 25 hand-cut paper bookplate designs. Traditionally, bookplates are small, decorative cards adhered to the inside cover or first page of a book. The owner’s name would be written or printed on the bookplate. Often the phrase Ex Libris, Latin for “From the library of” would be included in the design. Each artwork represents an artist’s take on the bookplate motif, and is made of single or multiple layers of hand-cut paper mounted to a backing. The traveling exhibit was secured by local member of the Guild of American Papercutters, Heather Clements. Featured artists: Mindy Shapiro, Sarah Madison, Linda Harrill Peck, Petrina Case, Bianca Levan, Dave Jenkins, June Gengler, Kirstin Ineich, Linda Emmerson, Kathryn V. White, Jerise Fogel, Christine M. Cushing, David Reichard, and Kathy Trexel Reed.
