NEW BOOK FROM BIG JUMP PRESS!
Fond is an investigation of memory and archive as manifested by the small, valueless objects that individuals collect and preserve. These objects, casually assembled over the course of years, serve as an information retrieval system and an emotional bank. A fond is a collection of documents organically accumulated by a person or institution. Using halftone photographs, color silhouettes, and a winding rope of text, I constructed a history of several objects.
I produced Fond over the course of 2011-2012 while I moved from Upstate New York to Alabama and finally to the United Kingdom. Letterpress-printed and bound in an edition of 75. 7 1/4" x 4 1/8" x 5/8"
