What is the role of writing in everyday life? Writing Stories explores the impact of writing in various forms—from scribbles to secret notes and official paperwork—across eight vignettes. Each page tells a story about a consequential moment from the artist’s life that somehow included writing. For example, in one vignette writing and drawing for a younger sibling foster a familial connection; in another, writing is used to assert control when a teacher requires “writing lines” as punishment in a middle school classroom. The book tells these stories and others across two modalities: words and images. One side of the book’s accordion structure is text based. After reading stories in this orientation, the reader can flip the book and experience the same stories again, this time, through pressure printed illustrated scenes. This structure allows readers to consider the affordances and limitations of writing as they compare which aspects of each story get communicated through words versus images.

As I high school art teacher, my students often had polarizing reactions to the process of drawing. Some students were afraid to draw and seemed repulsed by everything they made. Others were entranced by the drawing process and stayed behind to keep working after class had ended. How can an act as simple as creating lines on paper evokes such strong and differing responses?
Making Faces features wire-printed portraits that recreate drawings made by former students. Text is hand set and printed from lead and wood type. Geometric shapes are printed from antique wood type borders and ornaments.

What’s Left is a limited edition artist’s book which presents a collaboration between the artist and a group of her high school students who each immigrated to the United States as children. The artist interviewed each student and asked, “What is the most memorable object that you left behind when coming to the United States?”
In the interviews, each student describes not only his/her object, but also the history and circumstance that surrounds it. The artist then used the descriptions within her students’ stories to depict these objects left behind as multicolor woodblock prints. In the book, each image is accompanied by supporting information: a phrase quoted from the student, their city and country of origin, and a brief description of the object.
Read more about the project; the book’s foreword written by the artist is available HERE.
