WHAT I SAY TO THIS HOUSE (ART BOOK)
WHAT I SAY TO THIS HOUSE (ART BOOK)
1 Limited run, 4-piece art book. A collaboration by poet Becca J.R. Lachman and artist Astrid Kaemmerling. Includes a poetry book, 14 full-color multi-media reproductions with an accompanying booklet, and a process book documenting a 7-year collaborative creation process. 1st edition. 50 copies total.
This project came into existence by sending emails, art, photographs, texts, stanzas, and snail-mail letters between Athens (OH), San Francisco, Johnson (VT), and New Orleans between 2015-20. Fully completed in 2022 after a halt because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Collectively, the project navigates the topic of “home-building”-- be it physical, reproductive, metaphorical, or structural–and plays with time and space in an attempt to enter our experiences related to the evolving (female) body as home.
This price reflects the printing price costs without any income for the artists.
