Leah Oates and Her Book Cover Designs
USA- New York, NY | Oct 5 2011 | (10:00:50 - EDT)
Artist and photographer Leah Oates brings out more innovative work from her “Transitory Space” book cover series. One of the books from this series was created from images shot in Finland and Newfoundland. Her past books have been created from a feminist perspective, while more recently she has explored ideas about public and private space, but intrinsic in all of her books is an acute sensibility for their visual appearance. She states, “Many of my books deal with an inner awareness of the world either as a woman or as an individual experiencing time, memory and space through poetic and fluid perspective.”
