"The first time a saw a picture of a Sol Rébora binding, I felt weak in the knees." — Abby Schoolman
Sol Rébora, a member of the Designer Bookbinders of America, has studied with binders in Europe, Canada, and the US; her books and bindings synthesize her skills from around the world alongside her native Argentina. This singular artist's book brilliantly showcases the book as an art object with a play of tejido (and textile), text, and texture — all of which trace their etymological roots to the Latin verb texere, to weave.
