Sue Ann Robinson
Art Life, Too
Long Beach, 1998
Mixed media

"Since 1981 I have been creating mixed-media, one-of-a-kind, and limited-edition artists' books. I am drawn to book works for their intimate, participatory nature as well as their potential for sequence and layering of meaning. The book form effectively requires the viewer's participation and the extension of their time, thereby, to explore its contents. For me the book is a place where I can explore the integration of image, text, and structure to convey meaning and to create spaces and time for viewers to contemplate, reflect, and meditate."

Sue Ann Robinson has been involved with books for most of her professional life, first in publishing and later as an author for museums around the country. As a book artist she has received numerous grants and awards for her work, including an individual artist's fellowship from the City of Los Angeles, and has been an artist in residence at both the Long Beach Library and the Long Beach Museum of Art. She is currently director of education and outreach at the Long Beach Museum of Art, where she has brought many visiting book artists to teach workshops.
