I studied book arts briefly years ago so had to take a look at Talia’s site - truly wonderful stuff! So inspiring I feel like running out to a craft supply store and taking up bookbinding again as a hobby. It’s great to read the stories behind each piece of work too - I especially love the concept behind the Mum’s Closet book.

Oh, I love Chris’s clocks and the Nimrod’s Guide. Light, fun design.

Can someone please tell me where to buy the bird light!!!? I am crazy for it and dream of the day it’s connected to my laptop. (It’s just a sample, isn’t it?) :(

I’m going to have refined versions of the bird lights available for purchase later this year. Email me. ;-)

I had the pleasure of having a crit with talia while I was a visiting artist at the university of georgia this spring and her work is even more fabulous in real life! way to go!

Artists’ books are always very difficult to showcase and pictures just don’t do Talia’s work justice. I am familiar with her work in person and the pieces are really fun, thoughtful, and truly engaging.

I love Talia’s art. I found the books in particular to be extremely creative. Especially the one of her grandmother. She has even written and release a CD. She’s amazing!

As one of Talia’s peers, I am not surprised that she is one of the finalists. I have loved her work for awhile now. Everyone should take a look on her website to see more work.

Talia’s work is truly charming! As is she and I wish her the best of luck.
