We have three of @nancyloeber ’s books at #thibraryisopen
“These books begin with the texts.
Reading is a significant part of my process. When I find a text that moves me, I consider the process of creating the book a devotional act.”
Nancy Loeber is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her work spans printmaking,
artist books, animation, sculpture and textiles.

“Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, between early morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home?”
Half A Day, by Naguib Mahfouz
“As our path revealed itself to us, however, we did not find it as totally sweet and unclouded as we had presumed. Dust-laden winds and unexpected accidents came about suddenly, so we had to be watchful, on the ready, and very patient.”
Half A Day, by Naguib Mahfouz for CODEX Feb 7-10
Nancy’s woodcut and collage prints are soooo beautiful. When I first saw the faces in her prints I got tingly feelings in my arms. It was an honour to speak with her.
Nancy Loeber @nancyloeber will be exhibiting at the CODEX Book Art Fair & Symposium Feb 7-10 in Oakland California. I’ll be there and I SERIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT TO SEE ALL THE ARTIST BOOKS IN ONE PLACE! Ahhhh!!!
