DEE HOBAN: CREATIVING ART WITH BOOKS
Artist Dee Hoban will exhibit her work in the windows of the Art Alliance for the Month of October. As a book lover Hoban gravitated to using books as her artistic medium. She calls books the “clay” that she uses to create her sculptures. Hoban started by folding pages in books to create sculptures, her work has continued to become more complex. Hoban finds inspiration in dreams, emotions, and looking at books. She sees the inspiration for her sculptures coming from within her, organically.
Hoban is a regular contributor to shows at the Art Alliance.
