BOOKS
Artist books are interactive and meant to be touched. The reader is part of a one on one performance as the pages are turned and time passes.
These books take inspiration from scientific journals of observation, field notebooks, explorers' journals, letters, conversation, maps and itineraries, theatrical scripts, instructions and lists.
