Kathleen’s work is a series of
handmade books entitled:

hidden in plain sight.
Each handmade book is based on
a given country or culture,
that has been constructed in a
variety of mixed media
including and not limited to;
photography, ceramics, surface
embellishment, reclaimed
materials and the use of
digital printing and dye
sublimation.
The books are filled with
multi-layered and non linear

indentured servants, AIDS,
forced sterilization and
abortions, and child

subject matter is handled in a
