  • July 8th - July 15th, 2021 - Center for Book Arts, New York, NY

    Over the past two weeks I met and interacted with a great group of people while participating in an online workshop taught by the amazing Ben Denzer at the Center for Book Arts in Manhattan.

    I made my first stab bind book from brown paper grocery bags. I crushed and crumpled, then carefully un-crumpled, one could say 'rehabilitated', each bag which became a page in a pandemic 'story'.

    Through photographs and videos I documented the process of making the book then compiled and edited it all in iMovie.

    Check out one of Ben Denzer's websites below where, among an array of playful, experimental projects, he included my A Paper Bag is a Page in a Pandemic 'Story' of a Book is a Movie.

    ARTS LETTERS & NUMBERS
    Averill Park, NY

    "The Earth Of arose from the global pandemic that called a halt to Arts Letters & Numbers’ residency programs in early 2020. A new strategy was necessary to pursue the objective of creative investigation across disciplines, genres, generations and cultural origins. The Earth Of was part online writing workshop, part collaborative research, motivated by a range of working methods in visual art, performance, poetry, architecture, and philosophy. The question became how to integrate into these disparate creative processes the escalating sense of rupture that defines this moment. This anthology is the result."

    I'm pleased to be participating in The Earth Of, a virtual residency directed by Ginger Teppner, “an online experiment with language and form in search of a novel expression beyond the veneer. Writers and artists will come together to go deep, discuss and share their works and experiences.”
