Walter Hamady, often credited with helping the art world see the book in a new way, is the featured artist in a vast and yet intimate one-man show at the Watrous Gallery at the Overture Center for the Arts. “Juxtamorphing Space,” which runs through Nov. 20, is a collection of collages, assemblages and books he has composed, crafted or published at The Perishable Press Limited, which he operates out of his home and old dairy barn south of Mount Horeb.
Hamady (pronounced ha-MAH-dee) also is a former UW-Madison art professor, a poet, papermaker, designer, chronicler and prolific letter writer, and in the world of book artistry, a trailblazer.
