Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

'Big Ideas, Small Books'

UVM's Bailey/Howe Library isn't the only Vermont venue with an exhibit of unusual bindings and folded paper. At Jericho's Emile A. Gruppe Gallery, books take many forms: Elissa Campbell's pop-up book opens up to reveal thongs on a clothesline; Stephanie Wolff's piece is a three-dimensional diorama of fish; Jill Abilock creates wiry dolls whose pleated skirts are made of pages. Keeping their creations no bigger than 5 by 5 inches, the artists pack a lot of innovation into each tiny work. Through May 22. Pictured: "Cindy" by Jill Abilock.
