M. Syron, Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, Kathleen Dustin, Steven Ford and David Forlano, Tory Hughes, Cynthia Toops, Pier Voulkos, and Elise Winters.

This 140-page hardcover book by authors Rachel Carren, Bruce W. Pepich, and Lena Vigna combines illuminating text and ideas about polymer, as an art making material both past and present, with images and details on key artists. Beautifully illustrated with more than 130 photographs, the publication offers different points of view for understanding the transformation of polymer in artistic expression.
