Clifton Meador is a book artist. He has been making books-as-art for thirty years, and still finds the codex, as an artistic form, deeply engaging. His books frequently combine photography, writing, and design as part of a unified whole: the book as an original experience in art.
Clifton is the Director of the Interdiciplinary MFA program in the Book & Paper department of Columbia College Chicago.
