Greenfield’s Artist Book Premieres at Tropic Bound
Jessica Greenfield will be premiering her recently completed artist book, “Thicket,” at the Tropic Bound International Artists’ Book Fair in Miami February 6-9. The book is a multi-layered reflection on the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural world. The original text explores the physical experiences of Appalachian plants and wonders how we have wandered so far from their message of mutual flourishing.
“Thicket” will also be featured in the exhibition Nature and the Book II at the Elisabeth C. Miller Library at the University of Washington from February 3-27.
This project was made possible through artist residencies at Kala Art Institute, In Cahoots, and Penland School of Craft. Jessica was also supported by senior Juliana Maura who assisted with the production of Thicket. Juliana and Jessica were awarded one of only 20 undergraduate research grants across Appalachian State last semester.
