This project is a collaboration with Twin Cities-based visual artist Charles Matson Lume and writer Andy Sturdevant to design an artist book.

Building on the methods employed by the artist and writer, the design utilizes art documentation (of exhibitions and in-process studio work), site documentation, travel imagery, material studies, and book-specific interactivity.

This results in an artist's book that is more than a monograph or catalog but instead a work of art, complete with various kinds of folding, cutting, and material choices. The book is limited to 100 copies. In addition to the artist book design, I designed the exhibition promotional materials, including posters and outdoor banners.
