Book art and performances
Susan Share has a playful, inventive way with books. Her performance at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida exemplifies her virtuosic creativity in the field of book art.[4][5] In the early 1990s she performed, aided by a small troupe of assistant actors and dancers, before a large ballroom audience of book art enthusiasts at the 1st National Book Art Festival and Convention held at the Hotel Pennsylvania in Manhattan. In 2015 her art was featured once again at the Center for Book Arts.[1][6] In 2016 in Anchorage, Alaska, she was part of an ursine-themed exhibition at the International conference and art show Parade of Bears.[7] Susan Share often works with non-profits such as New York's Central Booking, a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, selling her books in support of the organization.[8] In 2018 her exhibition InFormal Nature was shown at the International Gallery of Contemporary Art in Anchorage, Alaska.[9]

Susan Joy Share likes to play dress-up with paper. Onstage, to varied musical accompaniment, she drapes book-like constructions over and around her body like a tutu, then a bandolier, then a head wrap and a prayer shawl; she spreads them across the floor or fans origami slinkies through the air, the paper pieces whooshing and clicking as she dances and puts them through their paces. Boxes within boxes unfold and morph into architectures and landscapes of dazzling colors. This is her Animated Library.
