“Incantations without words #1,” the first in a small series of art books, will be included in the upcoming Nebraska Biennial at Gallery 1516 and I’m delighted it will be displayed along with work from prestigious artists with Nebraska ties.

On each page of this accordion book is a small abstract mixed-media collage that feels like a visual poem, wish or spell. At 2x3” closed, it fits easily in palm or pocket. The show runs Oct. 3 to Dec. 14 with a public opening reception 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 4 at the gallery, 1516 Leavenworth St. Hope to see you there!
