Visual
artist Marja
Purto
became interested in artist’s books in the fi
nal stages of her art studies in the 1990s. Long before this
she had felt the attraction not only of the traditional
book, but card fi les, cases, boxes, wrappings,
etc. The book production of her post-art school
years has not yet been exhibited – she has, however,
executed several of the collected book works introducing Anu
Torikka’s shows. As a librarian and graphic
designer Marja has a rather special relationship
to the book – the artist’s book as well: for her it
represents the perfect form, where as an object it
fascinates the brain and senses. The book is
organization, control of chaos; it is a time machine, a
return ticket; a new world, something other than your
own world. |
