Images of Heather Watkins – Recurrent Work, recently published in conjunction with my one-person exhibition at The Art Gym at Marylhurst University. The book features two exquisite texts – a spatialized poem, and an essay – by Stephanie Snyder, Director and Curator of the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland, Oregon. The book's design, beautifully executed by Adam McIsaac / Sibley House, includes over one hundred work examples, with emphasis on ink- and fiber-based works created over the past five years.
The book is available for purchase ($20) through The Art Gym, by emailing bshell@marylhurst.edu. A lo-res downloadable pdf of the book is available here.
