Description
Artists have different ways of expressing themselves -- from painting to sculpting to the creation of interactive pieces. Making centuries-old books come to life is Sandow Birk's forte. Birk made a name for himself by dedicating five years of his life to illustrating and translating Dante’s Divine Comedy into a contemporary vernacular-- with the aim of giving the late-medieval text a 21st century appeal. Birk took nine years to do the same for the Koran. His recently released adaptation of Islam's holy book reads like a modern-day illuminated manuscript. Birk will talk about his intentions and process with veteran art professional Lori Wood.
