The concept of EX-LIBRIS came to life just days before my long pilgrimage to the Art Blocks Marfa Weekend back in September. Out of this initial batch, only 32 bookmarks were created. What began as an intention to craft charming mementos for a select circle of online friends swiftly evolved into a revelation of the creative potential inherent in this unique format.
These meticulously designed bookmarks, infused with a thirst learning and self actualization, served as more than just a placeholders within pages. They encapsulated a narrative of artistic exploration, self-discovery, and interpersonal connections. It was at this moment that the decision to immortalize this project on the blockchain took hold.
EX-LIBRIS captures the essence of a singular moment in time—a moment where I found my tribe as an artist. With an ethos rooted in uniqueness and individuality, each holder will have the opportunity to redeem their bookmark (or set) after minting, providing a tangible and signed testament to this distinct artistic endeavor. All bookmarks will be signed and printed on Epson Cotton High-Quality Rigid Paper.
