Svalbard Suite: Responding to the Arctic Environment

Recent artist’s books stem from the Arctic Circle Residency in 2023, aboard a three-masted sailing vessel in the Arctic Ocean surrounding the archipelago of Svalbard, ten degrees south of the North Pole. The suite comprises Svalbard Stone Poems, Cocoon, and Arctic Clouds. All three were designed and printed at a follow-up residency at Halden Bookworks in Tistedal, Norway. For more information, see the full posting in The Arctic. Previous explorations of place and environment include Fossil Record and Summerhouse Library.

Architectural Assemblages for Build / Books Retrospective Exhibition in 2025

I explore a sense of place, often through the natural environment. Place also includes the constructed environment and architecture, another ongoing body of work. Building / Books celebrates one body of work developed over nearly 40 years. Scheduled for spring 2025 at Minnesota Center for Book Arts and Open Book in Minneapolis, the work explores the constructed environment, architecture, and the structure of language.
