about the artist - tim mosely


Touch, the haptic and smooth space are the primary concerns of Tim Mosely's art practice. With an identity formed within the confluence of three disparate cultures insoluble parts from each are held together in tension within his work. Substantial expertise in papermaking, printmaking, bookbinding and collaborative practice compliment these concerns. Artists books in particular, made under the impress of Silverwattle Bookfoundry, offer him a way to combine conceptual and material content that invites our touch and explore and the nature of reading a book. His practice includes writing that contributes to the discourse of the emerging critical field of artists books. With an output of over 75 unique and editioned artists books Tim Mosely is well represented in prominent artists book collections and exhibitions. These public and private collections include

  1. Your exquisite books were some of my favorites at the Codex International book Fair in Richmond, California. Thank you for your display and kind explanations. I wish I had taken a closer look at all of your books. Hope to see you at the next fair. (I was the Japanese American lady with the long gray hair)
