Pamela Moore, born in Sioux City, Iowa now lives in Barcelona, Spain. She earned
her BFA in Photography at the University of Arizona in 1984 where she first
discovered her interest in book arts. Drawn to the three-dimensional qualities
of the book and the alchemical nature of brass, copper and other metals, her
books became sculptural explorations of materials, text and form. In 1988 she
went to Barcelona where she studied bookbinding and restoration at the Conservatory
of the Arts of the Book. In 1993 she traveled to Texas and continued her studies
at the J. Sobota Studio.
Throughout her career, Pamela has exhibited and sold her work to individuals
and institutions. In 1994 she was awarded a regional NEA grant which led to her
being selected as an artist for the IAPN cultural exchange program which has
taken her exhibition "Imaginary Library" to Greece, France and Spain.
The images shown on this web page are taken from this show. She continues to
create book art and practice bookbinding and restoration in Barcelona, Spain.
Her work can also be seen online in "Pamela Moore's Imaginary
Library." Her sculptural design bindings in Imaginary Library explore the
concept of book as object and as sculpture by incorporating the elements of
light, texture, time and space.
