Further Afield is a two-part exhibit highlighting my ongoing explorations of nature and women naturalists through the medium of artist books. The first series showcases artists' books and accompanying broadsides, entrenched in the history and visual sensibility of cabinets of curiosities and early women in the field of science. The second is a body of wooden board books exploring surface, mark making, and historical influences on the form.
