Book of Trees: Collaboration with Seth Apter and Jen Worden
2009-2011
In 2008 I contacted artists, Seth Apter in New York City, and Jen Worden in Canada to see if they wanted to work on a collaborative project together. They both agreed and we each created our books that we would pass along to each other. I created a plaster book called “A Book of Trees”. Jen created a box of metal pages called “Shine” and Seth created a rebound book of vintage pages called “Contexture”. We began in early 2009 and each book was shipped across the states and over the Canadian-U.S. border. For more than 2 years we created visual responses to what the preceding person had created. Each “book” encompasses a visual dialogue between three artists working in different styles and materials.
Below is a slideshow of our books.
