작품 상세 설명

From the Artist: My artist’s book, Ten Paces, pays homage to the words and wisdom of Wendell Berry, and is a personal celebration of the beauty of the wild places in which I was privileged to hike in 2020. Making the book was an act of hope that, despite all the loss, pain, and fear the world has been enduring, we may still find joy in our journey on Earth, however far or near we walk. I walked a lot in 2020. In part because I had a long-planned wilderness trek planned in Wyoming with a friend at the beginning of September which thankfully did not need to be cancelled. But walking is also my go-to remedy for all kinds of angst, and as many other people did during lock-down days, I spent more time than usual wandering in local communities and preserves, finding more beauty there than ever before. Because I needed to. The book features footprints that are cut by hand, and is constructed with mixed Japanese mulberry papers. It includes eleven panorama photos in order of proximity to home, starting farther away and ending here in Westchester at the Betsy Sluder Nature Preserve in Armonk. Because there’s no place like home.

Karen Viola: Exploring Nature's Narrative Through Kinetic Book Art

Karen Viola (born March 28, 1965) is a Canadian artist whose distinctive approach to book art—characterized by unconventional forms and explorations of natural patterns—has garnered critical acclaim. Rooted in her formative years spent in White Plains, New York, Viola’s artistic journey began with a passion for storytelling and a profound connection to the environment. Her background in children's book publishing instilled a meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to crafting immersive experiences for young audiences.

Early Influences & Education

Viola’s fascination with music started early, picking up violin at sixteen before transitioning to viola in 1941. This musical foundation profoundly shaped her artistic sensibilities, fostering an understanding of rhythm, texture, and expressive nuance—elements she seamlessly integrates into her sculptural book creations. She pursued formal training at Parsons School of Design, earning a BFA degree that solidified her commitment to artistic exploration and experimentation. The influence of Katherine Ann Tuttle, her mother, who instilled in her a love for literature and observation, further nurtured Viola’s creative spirit.

The Philosophy Behind Kinetic Book Art

Viola's artistic vision centers around capturing the essence of nature—its intricate rhythms and captivating narratives—within the framework of kinetic book art. Unlike traditional printmaking techniques, she employs innovative methods that combine sculptural elements with movement, mirroring the dynamism inherent in natural ecosystems. Her work delves into themes of interconnectedness, transformation, and the beauty found within seemingly simple forms. Viola’s exploration of coordination – a teaching system developed by Katherine Tuttle focusing on posture, balance, and mindful engagement – reflects her belief in holistic artistic practice.

Notable Works & Recognition

Among Viola's celebrated pieces are “Embryo,” “Ten Paces,” and “Mammoth in the Frozen Soil,” each demonstrating her masterful manipulation of mixed media—primarily hand-dyed textiles and sculptural forms—to convey profound emotional resonance. Her collaborative efforts with the Center for Book Arts have solidified her position as a leading figure in contemporary book art, furthering her commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. Furthermore, Viola’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through her own publishing imprint, Climbing Tree Press, where she champions experimental editions and promotes sustainable practices within the arts community.

Legacy & Continuing Exploration

Karen Viola continues to refine her artistic techniques and conceptual explorations, driven by an unwavering desire to communicate the transformative power of observation and imagination. Her pioneering approach to kinetic book art has inspired a new generation of artists and solidified her place as a visionary voice in the realm of sculptural storytelling—a testament to her enduring passion for capturing the beauty and complexity of the natural world through innovative artistic mediums.
