The lovely folks over at Public Knowledge Books (PKB) are now distributing Conveyor Editions titles as well as copies of my book The Dry Garden.

Old School, New Worlds
My collaborative project The Library as a Garden will be on view in Old School, New Worlds at SMUSH Gallery in Jersey City. The exhibition is organized by Dense Magazine in conjunction with the Jersey Art Book Fair (runs Feb 3-4). The Library as a Garden is a collaboration between Christina Labey and myself exploring the connection between humans and plants through the lens of the archive. In this arboreal-focused installation, we weave together plant specimens, watercolor studies, and writing to infuse new life into historical archives. By casting trees as quiet observers of human history and pivotal figures in forging a sustainable future, in the hopes of redirecting our attention to the often-overlooked presence of nature in the urban landscape.

Tree News Issue 4
This weekend, Sept 9 + 10, marks the release of issue 4 of Tree News produced by Erin Mallea and Paper Buck at the Pittsburgh Art Book Fair. I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Erin about A Tree Grows in Queens, herbaria, and working with archives. The issue also includes an interview with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History Curator of Botany, Mason Heberling. They’ll be tabling at the Carnegie Museum of Art and will have copies of The Dry Garden as well as a special edition postcard set of images from A Tree Grows in Queens.
