Double Dream Book, 1995

American (born 1949)
Location: Spokane Community College, Spokane
About the Artwork
Double Dream Book is a large-scale installation by artist Norie Sato. It is comprised of two central book forms with glass and metal letters and symbols climbing up atrium walls at Spokane Community College. She notes that each book element is “in the process of transforming or ‘flying apart.’ The written book is de-materializing into digital media in the same way that our culture is in the process of transforming from the industrial age into the information age.”
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Community Colleges of Spokane.
