Debra Frances is a bookbinder and book artist from Winnipeg. She is fascinated by the compact form of the book and how it can house and reflect a wide range of ideas. She is especially drawn to the quality and design of historical bindings and is always working to innovate utilizing contemporary materials. Her recent work uses various forms of wood – handcrafted exotic woods, logs, and driftwood. The books in this collection are a collaboration between herself and close family friend, Tore Vollan. Every detail that goes into Frances’ work is carefully considered and each unique book is a sculptural, yet functional, keepsake.
