Alicia Bailey Alicia Bailey – ravenpress 1164 Boston St., Aurora, CO 80010 aliciabailey@mac.com www.alicibailey.com Born Denver, Colorado, USA. University of Colorado BFA in Studio Arts, 1981 Statement: I am a studio artist whose work encompasses a broad range of material and method. Included in my repertoire are both unique and limited edition bookworks. I think of my artists’ books as interactive sculpture. The process of designing and creating the works is endlessly engaging and thus very satisfying. 1 - Crystalline Flower, 2010, limited edition miniature; This 12 page book pairs the words of Pablo Neruda (XII from Stones of the Sky, translated by James Nolan) with images painted by Heidi Zednik.

This project is the result of an intermingling of stories told by those who have been struck by a sensation of instant connection with another. In the classical world such pricks from a dart of Eros were called Theia Mania (madness from the Gods). Heidi Zednik and I began by collecting audio versions of stories told by those willing to participate in the project. We recorded 12 such stories and these are the basis for both the text and audio portions of this piece. Two of the storiesI wished to include could not be told by their subjects, so I wrote my own versions, presented as oral presentations on the CD. This piece includes a woven binding structure based on a Claire van Vliet design, a small recipe book made with a piano hinge, a sachet of herbs with a love potion recipe, an accordion book in a round aluminum tin and an audio compact disk & wrapper. All are contained in a rectangular aluminum hinged tin that is held closed with a handprinted sleeve.
