Erica Spitzer Rasmussen is an artist and educator who specializes in sculptural objects. She creates one-of-a-kind and limited-edition hand-bound books, which most often explore family stories and issues of identity. Her solo exhibition, Books Abound, includes unconventional shapes (such as seed pods, shoe soles, and garments) and unorthodox media (such as dehydrated tomatoes, human hair, fish scales and the ashes of loved ones). She takes great pleasure in challenging the idea of what constitutes a book. Rasmussen teaches studio arts at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She is the sole proprietor of Hot Tomato Press.
