Turning Breath into Art, Marquis Burton

In the Book Arts Main & Studio Galleries, experience the artistry of Marquis “Ten Thousand” Burton in "Turning Breath into Art," an exhibition where poetry meets visual art. For over a decade, Ten Thousand has been creating art from his breath through improv poetry, and now he invites you to witness the transformation of his words into visual experiences. In his studio residency with Book Arts, Marquis has been experimenting with letterpress and screen print techniques to translate his poetry into printed works.  Journey with Marquis to explore the beauty and transitions of life, captured through this creative expression. Join us for the Opening Reception of Turning Breath into Art on Friday, May 17, 2024, from 5 pm to 8 pm.
