Artist Books Dirt Book, 2024, Repurposed book, archival digital prints, acrylic paint, approx. 100,000 year old Long Island soil unaffected by glacial melt, 14 x 8 x 6 inches I created this book during my residency in the Soils Room at Swale. Working with a soil scientist, I received vibrant mauve colored soil from Long Island cliffs that due to its location was not affected by glacial melt and is approximately 100, 000 years old. I used this pure soil as pigment with PVA glue as a binder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6b8746feda30566e18895/24023b8f-2e45-4a0b-a4bf-f2b75878d055/Book+Art.png Work - Artist Books Revived, repurposed book, acrylic, ink, markers, pen watercolor, collage, dimensions vary, 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6b8746feda30566e18895/dc4d34d5-e234-4148-876b-b6d2996b4110/Book+art+purchase+.png Work - Artist Books Revived, repurposed book, acrylic, ink, markers, pen watercolor, dimensions vary, 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6b8746feda30566e18895/b57072ee-053a-427f-8058-3ab2b6a85b4f/07_Dive.jpg Work - Artist Books Cicada, 2017, acrylic, ink, markers, pen watercolor, collage, dimensions vary, private collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6b8746feda30566e18895/fb256109-60bd-42c7-a09a-3d5d5320e086/Day+Life+America+Book+Vagina+.jpg Work - Artist Books A Day in the Life of America, 2017, repurposed book, found materials, digital prints, acrylic, markers, sharpie, ballpoint pen, watercolor, highlighters, duct tape, scotch tape, Elmer’s Glue, 11 x 9 x 3 inches https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6b8746feda30566e18895/090016aa-87e8-40f4-a534-587e52566362/08_Cicada+Cleanse.jpg Work - Artist Books Cicada, 2017, acrylic, ink, markers, pen watercolor, collage, dimensions vary, sold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65b6b8746feda30566e18895/20e0e2e1-588b-4161-9112-b9516f8b27cc/08_Melinda+Kiefer+Santiago_Inanimate.jpeg Work - Artist Books Inanimate, 2021, acrylic and digital prints on repurposed book, 12 x 18 x 12 inches,
