Darin is an artist and bookbinder working across disciplines. She employs time as an essential medium in physical, tangible work. Turning pages, winding cord through pegs, repetitive mark-making, symbols and relics half-remembered; distorted, transcribed. Mind travel, hallucination, day-dreaming, and reflection are embedded into momentary making.
Her collection of hand-held, modular printing tools invite pattern creation as part of the printing process through manipulation of the tool architecture.
Darin works out of a studio in Boulder, Colorado. She makes custom books and boxes as well as small editions of fine stationery from repurposed materials. She also manages production of photography and art books for independent companies and individuals.
Darin holds a BFA in painting and MA in textile design. She has worked as a commercial bookbinder in Berkeley, Los Angeles, and London.
