Poet and Visual Artist Alice George with Jamie Thome

On 30 April 2020, we visited Evanston-based poet and visual artist Alice George at her studio on Florence Avenue. Alice has been working in text/image territory for decades, first as a poet, then printmaker, painter, book artist and short-short filmmaker. She shared the centrality of books and text in her life, art and process, shared some artist books she’s created, along with a new sculptural book project on which she's collaborating with local wood artist David Rubman.

Thanks for watching!
