dc.description Melissa Jay Craig is a book artist whose work easily inhabits both the craft-based world of traditional book arts and the sculptural world of fine art. For reasons unknown to most working within the field of book arts, this feat seems difficult to achieve. Her freestanding book objects are easily at home nestled between other artist’s books or displayed as purely sculptural objects on their own. Life-size book forms resembling trees rising up from the ground force viewers to challenge their idea of what a book should look like. Bark becomes spine. Lichens become pages. Trunk becomes book.
