Afterword: A Book Project
Words evoke powerful ideas, images and emotions.
Afterword: A Book Project demonstrates the uniquely personal reactions to an author’s work that enters a world beyond words where art making takes over.
Women artists respond to women authors in a place often relegated to “the middle of nowhere” - the vastness of the prairie.
Through words, through art making, Afterword: A Book Project reveals that this place of flat land and huge sky is replete with vibrant life. Where people live, who they are and the experiences they have, all inform how individuals interpret the world around them or comprehend words in a book.
The connections found between prairie authors and prairie artists in this project have resulted in a dynamic display of interdisciplinary art that deals with an array of concepts and decodes the complex reality of what it means to be a woman, perhaps especially, a prairie woman.
