I am delighted to share the news that the Met has acquired two of my artists books. Conversation Too (2013) and This Is My Body, Of Food and Freedom (2023) for their permanent collection. I am grateful to each of my collaborators for their contributions of words and images (Convo2: Kari Snyder, Laura Tan/ Artwork; John Dufresne, Michael Hettich, Yaddyra Peralta/ Prose & Poetry. This Is My Body: Edwidge Danticat/ Essay, John Ermer/ Research).
Convo Too was assembled at the Anderson Center at Tower View with our combined work in writing and images. The book was printed during my Helen M. Salzberg Artist in Residence Program at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts at Florida Atlantic University, and bound at Extra Virgin Press in West Coconut Grove, Florida.
This Is My Body, Of Food and Freedom was printed and bound at Extra Virgin Press in Little Haiti (Miami), Florida.
I am grateful to Lin Lougheed, Cherese Crockett, and Oolite Arts for their part in bringing this work to the collection.
