- Public Abstract (ETD)
Inhabited: finding refuge in an unknown landscape, is a body of work that includes an artist book titled Inhabited, broadsides, video poems, and three installations. Together, they recount my observations and experiences within the Iowa landscape, while also questioning what a wild landscape is. The works encourages the reader to seek refuge, as I have with the landscape. The body of work was created using different types of my handmade paper, some of which has been dyed using plant material native to Iowa. The work also seeks to highlight the importance of the written word within artists’ books and explores how the same text can be experienced in different forms.
