BRIDGTON — Book artist Anna Low is guest artist at Gallery 302 from Dec. 3 through Jan. 3.
Low is the owner and creator behind Purplebean Bindery, an Auburn business focused on creating unique, durable and inspiring blank journals.
She has degrees from Hampshire College, The Paris Photographic Institute and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After teaching for many years, Low now is a full-time artist. To satisfy her endless creative itch, she also makes artists books, dabbles in printmaking, practices antiquated photography techniques, does some web and graphic design, and teaches workshops. Currently, her energies are focused on bookbinding and artist books.
“While my format art career began as a photographer, I have always made books,” Low said. “I love the intimacy of books; that you (usually) hold them in your hands, control the pace you view the art and object, that they are often a quiet and individual art experience, and that they incorporate the forth dimension – time – as a vital part of the experience.”
December gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Gallery 302 is lat 112 Main St. For information, visit gallery302.com.
