Susan Mills Artist Books

ABOUT THE BOOKS

Susan Mills' books reflect an interest in language that is not written for publication; language that cannot meaningfully be typeset or scanned or reproduced.

Her recent work references historical 'blank' books. These books, like today's laptops, were built with the assumption of content.
In general, they were to be handwritten and one-of-a-kind. Their subjects included records, accounts, reference, data and collections; their humble bindings included recycled or waste materials.

Mills is drawn to a tabula rasa quality in these books.

She is interested in what is found, historically and con-temporarily, tucked into the hem.
