This is a small sample of my bone and book art from two series: Anamnesis and Synthesis. The Synthesis series is about collaboration, using the words of others as the foundation of the work and building form to reflect content. The Anamnesis series is about memory and forgetfulness, where natural materials are combined with the leftover pieces of fabrics, threads and papers from my bookbinding projects.

This is the blog of Erzebet YellowBoy Carr, an author and artist working in the mythic tradition. Born in America, I now live and work in a tumbledown cottage in rural France with my husband, Dis, and a posse of wild cats. I write about writing, book arts, my home and studio, the beautiful landscape around me, and the people who inspire me and my work.

At the Core is part of the Rose & Briar Fairy Tale series: ten original and retold fairy tales by author and artist Erzebet YellowBoy, including eight previously published and two unpublished short stories. Some are as sweet as the scent of a rose, others are painful as briars. Rose & Briar Fairy Tales are available exclusively on Amazon. “Sleeping Helena is a deft and unusual re-working of the Sleeping Beauty legend by a writer who truly understands the metaphorical language of fairy tales. I was deeply moved by Erzebet YellowBoy’s powerful story, and cannot stop thinking about it. What better recommendation is there?”
- Terri Windling, writer, editor, and artist specializing in fantasy literature and mythic arts. The Dead Shore is the complete collection of Erzebet’s mixed media assemblages using bones found on the shore of a dying Nebraskan lake. Inside are twenty-three full color images, including the poems or vignettes which accompanied the original artworks. Available for Kindle from Amazon.
