This art exhibition catalog accompanies Telling My Story at the Edge of Recovery from Homelessness, an art exhibition and educational forum that explores the journey of recovery by eight older African American women from homelessness in Detroit. It combines the creation of coneptual portraits by international artist/writer/scholar Mara Jevera Fulmer, with research activities by Drs. Olivia G.M. Washington and David P. Moxley and the TMS participants' personal perspectives and captured issues in their own words and frames of reference. As a result, it is hoped that it will lead to a greater understanding of the serious nature of this social problem in the United States, as well as to developing potential solutions and approaches to its prevention.
The book is a timeless art form, one that is as alive today as ever before, and artists continue to explore and explode the boundaries of what a book is and can be. In this beautiful collection, you will experience close-up various aspects of hand-crafted books: covers, bindings, scrolls, folded and origami structures and books made from found objects. You will find richly illustrated and calligraphed pages as well as books created from a variety of printed processes. Ingenuity and creativity abounds in this carefully curated collection of both historically important and modern works.
