Books transport to other worlds, elevate ideas, and spark insights. These creative works surpass the bounds of what is considered to be a book and loosen the imagination.  Like a well-rounded bookshelf, the art may provoke many experiences, including amusement and sorrow, wonder and horror. Themes among the works include memory, family, mental health, and connections.
 
Curator and contributing artist Linden Godlove admires books and has been employed in libraries most of her life. “My own art in the show is a celebration of the wonder books can provide as well as a protest against current challenges to books.” She aspires to be an author and regularly submits for publication. She maintains a studio at 333 Midland and exhibits her illustrative art in local exhibitions.
