Bookishness

Pentimento / Pick Up I by Claire Jeanine Satin

“Making art professionally since the mid 1950’s, the sheer volume of Satin’s work is matched only by the wealth of knowledge that inspires its content. Using the book as both her medium and as a powerful cultural icon, Satin’s books examine language, the possibility of transformation, layers and the absence of certainty, until they are no longer books at all, but prototypes for storytelling.

To make Pentimento, Satin took cues from methodologies of her longtime friend the artist/composer John Cage, implementing oblique strategies into her process, and examining how we as ‘readers’ make meaning.”
