About the Book
Marianne Reim, German born and raised, then McMaster University trained and now a resident of St. Catharines, Ontario. Her Sculptures attract the eye, intrigue the mind, and linger in the memory of the viewer. Her primary materials, stone and steel, blend the traditional with the modern and her forms evoke references to both the organic and the inanimate.
A series of 36 books sculpted over the years in steel or s tone or a combination of the two illustrates the complex character of her creativity.
These recall medieval illuminated manuscripts, yet are very different, books with pages that are bound, books whose pages turn with messages on both the verse and recto sides, books that tell stories, albeit sometimes fragmented ones, pages with pictures, pages with relief sculpture. In every way these weighty tomes fit the category of books yet they remain obviously steel and stone sculptures.
