The Book Arts combine Dextras’ passion for text, papers, image transfers and graphic design. Handmade books are an alternative context for the display of photographic images given their tactile and ritualistic nature. Dextras focuses primarily on alternative structures to present her mix media concepts. The inclusion of text gives voice to the narrative subtext in her art, which may originate from her own writing or from collaboration with an author who interprets her photographs. Representatives selling Dextras' books include califiabooks.com and artsonatlantic.com
