Seeds is site-specific book of papers made from, and embedded with, seeds and plants gathered from a specific plot of restoration prairie. The papers were handmade, with cotton as well as the plants and grasses, during a residency at The Printing Museum, Houston. The linen fabric and thread used for the cover and binding were dyed with goldenrod from the site.
Wild Geese is a book of handmade papers and cyanotype images containing the poems the same name by Mary Oliver.
the present of my life looks different under trees is a quote from a passage in Annie Dillard’s “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” in which she muses on the differences between “soft-shelled humans” and the trees with their bark shields and immense lifespans. Trees ‘remember’ the weather through their growth rings and, in fossilized remains, the pattern of these rings is used to study past climates. What will current, living trees tell the future?
