• Meandering Proposal, Artist Book @ CODEX

    Meandering Proposal, Artist Book @ CODEX

    Meandering Proposal is an artist book I assembled during a residency at InCahoots, Petaluma, 2019. The poem was written several years before. It is a floppy collection of irregular pages, some maps, others deconstructed pages from collage, digital output, and serigraph. Bound with accordion fold tyvek it explores table space in a long narrow cascade or can be propped up on its long side in a circular form.

    Excited to be returning to In Cahoots Residency for 2 weeks end of November 2023.

During this time I will continue to pull prints that are a part of my inquiry about carrying / caring as well as become distracted by the neighborhood emu!
