books and more books

I'm still living off the high from my first artist book, I keep getting great feedback from people! Thanks people! Also, thanks to Bill and Vicky from Vamp and Tramp Booksellers, Access & Closure has made it into a few more exciting collections.

Harvard University, Fine Arts Library
Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, Herron Art Library, Artist Book Collection
Wellesley College, Clapp Library, Special Collections
Williams College, Chapin Library, Special Collections

If you live near any of these places, check it out. Or if you live in the Detroit area, one of my favorite neighbors - gallerist, photographer, engineer, all-around-good-guy and perhaps soon-to-be-cat-owner Steve Panton has agreed to circulate a copy to interested parties.

In other news, I found out that I got another residency for book #2, this time at the Women's Studio Workshop in New York. This one will be a quasi-atlas of Palestine but I'm going to wait on sharing the details until I've got something to show for it. Til then, I'll post an excerpt from a legend of a 1941-42 Survey of Palestine that I photographed at the Map Library at University of Michigan. Does anyone know what lava would be doing in Palestine?
