Book Art

Collage book; poetry artist statement. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland closes on a elegiac note, as Alice’s older sister imagines young Alice a grown woman who, “in the after-time,” would perhaps recall the strange and wonderful events she just related, and even, on future summer days, recount them to her own children. Lindsey Jones takes this as the starting point to imagine the book a grown Alice might have created to capture her dream of Wonderland and share it with others. The resulting scrapbook utilizes photographs, found objects, gems, and brilliantly colored paper cutouts to re-create the fabric of a dream. Each page represents an episode from Alice’s adventures narrated by the accompanying poem, which Jones wrote as Alice’s version of events told in her own voice. The artwork employs the syntax of dreams, with their substitutions and sudden transformations, as in the bit of lace from the skirt of Alice’s sister that reappears in other drawings. Hoping to create a work worthy of residing “on Alice’s own bookshelf,” Jones invites readers to discover their own pathways through Alice’s enchanted tale.
