Artist and Librarian: Alissa Duke
About
What happens to the books no one wants?Join a talk by artist and Librarian Alissa Duke who draws in books that were about to be discarded. Alissa draws an image with watercolour pencils, inspired by words on the page. The books are given a new life, to be appreciated by a new audience. This talk questions some preconceptions about writing and drawing in books, and about giving a value to otherwise valueless books. Alissa will talk about her creative process along the way. It will include a display of some of her books which will be available for purchase.
