Farewell to Spring

A book about saying goodbye, welcoming new love, and understanding human experience through observing the more-than-human world. In July 2023 I attended a month-long residency at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California shortly following the death of my mother. During the long walks each day to and from the studio I began collecting nasturtium flowers and writing about what the plant had to teach me about the cycles and seasons of experience. Farewell to Spring developed during that summer and combines pressure prints of gathered nasturtium plants with hand-set lead type.

Artist book with enclosure, letterpress printed using pressure printing and hand-set lead type on Thai Kozo, Lokta, and French papers.

Produced while in residence at at Kala Art Institute and Penland School of Craft
