In 2008, Page began creating artworks on obsolete, three-by-five-inch library checkout cards. These richly illustrated book marks started out as a colorful system for remembering titles and ultimately became an ongoing art project that forms the heart of this book. Page began by making cards for books she was currently reading, and soon decided to retrace her reading history back to the very beginning. Represented here are over 430 of the cards housed in an antique two-drawer library case, symbolizing the books the artist has read and loved over seven decades. Interwoven with personal accounts of the different stages of her life - as a child, young housewife, pilot, artist, widow, and traveler - the artworks illuminate how our memories of books are anchored not only to the story itself, but also to events and images beyond the book's cover. Book Marks is a captivating fusion of autobiography and art book that reminds us of how significant books can leave indelible impressions on our lives.
