À propos du créateur
ken montgomery
Richmond, Virginia
Sound has been a primary source material in my artwork. I ran a sound art gallery in New York City from 1989-1992 where I performed Lamination Rituals. Out of the detritus of performing with an amplified laminator I began assembling laminations into artworks that evolved into the practice of bookmaking. Most of the books I create are one-of-a-kind artworks of assembled pages. With my love of photography as a tool to see the world and document what I see I created these books using Blurb which can be reproduced and shared with more than one person. Enjoy!
