My newest publication with Conveyor Editions, designed by Christina Labey, is being released in time for the NYABF and Arbor Day. A Tree Grows in Queens reflects on the many ways in which trees manifest into other things - myths, memes, monuments and more. Telling the stories of ten trees found in NYC (from the Harlem Wishing Tree to a Tulip tree considered the city’s oldest) the book explores topics from climate catastrophe and zombie capitalism to the radical power of touch and the place of memory making. Book available through Conveyor Editions here.
Tree News Issue 4
This weekend, Sept 9 + 10, marks the release of issue 4 of Tree News produced by Erin Mallea and Paper Buck at the Pittsburgh Art Book Fair. I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Erin about A Tree Grows in Queens, herbaria, and working with archives. The issue also includes an interview with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History Curator of Botany, Mason Heberling. They’ll be tabling at the Carnegie Museum of Art and will have copies of The Dry Garden as well as a special edition postcard set of images from A Tree Grows in Queens.
