Each book in this exhibition was made with a particular purpose&#8211;about a single species, seasonal narratives, or&nbsp;interrelated species or habitat.&nbsp; The books are poetic interpretations of various subjects portrayed on pages that are filled with color and pattern originating from Goodale\u2019s background in textile design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By working thematically for over a decade, she developed a vocabulary of methods, materials&nbsp;and innovative forms while simultaneously doing her own brand of field work. In order to gain a better understanding of each plant or animal that will become a part of her next book, she wanders into the woods, plains, mountains&nbsp;and marshes by herself or with local naturalists. She draws at entomology labs, rehabilitation centers and wildlife parks, and in the winter she visits various herbaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the studio, Goodale designs the structure and content of each Artist\u2019s Book through a series of rough drafts, dummies&nbsp;and models. Most of the work is then printed and bound in small limited editions by the artist in her studios in Portland and Freeport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maine Women Writers Collection at UNE holds one of the largest collections of Goodale\u2019s work in the United States. Her books can be found in many other institutional collections including the Bowdoin College Library; Library of Congress; Portland Museum of Art; State Art Museum of Hawai\u2019i; the Fogg Museum Fine Art Library, Harvard University; and the Herron Art Library, IUPUI, Indianapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebecca Goodale has been an adjunct professor of art, teaching book arts and design, at the University of Southern Maine for over 30 years.&nbsp; She is also the faculty director of USM\u2019s Book Arts at Stone House, and the program coordinator for USM\u2019s Kate Cheney Chappell \u201983 Center for Book Arts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exhibition of artist books by Rebecca Goodale&nbsp;was comprised&nbsp;of images and texts about Maine\u2019s rare flora and fauna.
