( MENAFN - ACCESSWIRE) Publishing House benton buckley books Boldly Commissions a Visionary Artist for Exquisite Cover Creation WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / October 29, 2024 / The cover for /be-spōk/: a philosophy of beauty reflects a story of serendipity, creativity, and the beauty of collaboration - a narrative where inspiration traveled from the artistry of resin to wallpaper and ultimately to adorn the cover of this magnificent book. Beth Buckley , ever the seeker of authenticity, stumbled upon a gorgeous wallpaper in Amy Kalikow's feature. There, within the patterns and textures, she glimpsed a quality that felt distinctly aligned with the vision she had for the book: intricate, unique, and evocative of a philosophy that celebrates individuality.
Beth's curiosity led her to Elyse Graham the artist behind that mesmerizing creation. Known for her masterful manipulation of resin and her daring, experimental processes, Elyse embodies a spirit that resonates deeply with the ethos of /be-spōk/ - each piece she crafts is an exploration, a dance between spontaneity and intention, where materials defy predictability. When Beth reached out, it was clear that a connection had been sparked; the meeting of minds was as seamless as the transition from Elyse's studio in Los Angeles to the mistier climes of Oregon, where her work continues to evolve.
For Elyse, the challenge of crafting a bespoke piece for the cover was thrilling. Her art is born from experimentation, from allowing.
