Reader’s Art 12: Longing for Home

Carol Morris-The place is the exotic landscape of childhood in rural Ohio. Where tigers and lions could co-exist with squirrels. While doing the book I was enchanted by feelings of beauty and safety. Altered books are my favorite medium. I love books and love discarded books. By altering them,  I preserve them.

Bio: I try to remember it’s not about me so I will talk in the third person. Carol is a poet, video filmmaker, and visual artist.  Painting, assemblage, and altering things are her favorite mediums. In the last year, she’s been included in exhibits in Michigan, California, and Colorado.

She continues her decade-long work of bringing art to women in prison. She lives in Ann Arbor Michigan and loves her grandsons abundantly, as her grandmother did her
