VCUarts and The Anderson are pleased to present Imaging My Desk from Tate Bernard, VCU Libraries’ inaugural Book Artist in Residence.
From the Artist:
My Desk is a limited edition of 15 risograph-printed books that provide a glimpse into the source of my creativity. As an artist, I’ve always been intrigued by the impact of the artist’s environment on their work. For me, my own creative space serves as a reflection of the pieces I’ve crafted over the years. Each original watercolor illustration featured in the book captures the contrast of imagery that has fueled my artistic expression and the imagery created for various projects. The visuals depict my yearning to immerse myself in an imaginary world, often serving as an escape from moments of stress. While my personal life may sometimes seem interesting or adventures at times, the worlds and illustrations I create are often where I truly feel I explore and express myself.
