Conexus/Connections Project
(1986)
This nine-book set of artists’ books is the culmination of efforts made by artists Sabra Moore and Josely Carvalho to foster collaborative relationships between female artists from North and South America and to address subjects common to women of all cultures: birth, food, body, shelter, environment, race, spirit, and war/death. The work of 150 international women artists (including Nancy Spero, Ida Applebroog, Louise Bourgeois, Joan Lyons, and Faith Ringgold) appears in these photocopied pages, bound within silkscreened Indian paper and presented in a ribbon-bound slipcase.
