My MFA cohort had the opportunity to display our Girdle Books— a medieval book with a long cover that could be tucked into a belt— at the UArts library this month! Mine is the one in the fetching blue sweater. Other artists featured here are Xue’er Gao, Grace Johnson, and Jingnan Cheng.
Fun fact— Hironymous Bosch painted a Girdle Book in The Temptation of St Anthony!
