collaborative BookEnvirons
A BookEnviorn is an artist's book that by concept and scale creates an immersion experience for the viewer who enters and explores the space that is created and shaped by the book.
The works for which we coined the term “BookEnviron” grew out of a brainstorming session that raised the question, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to create a book that is large enough to walk into?”
BookEnviron: Quincy
Artists Books as Shelter, Escape, Epiphany; 
Shaping Our Space, Our Thoughts, and Our Aspirations 
Elizabeth M. Sinnock Gallery, Quincy Art Center, Quincy, IL
