Scope and content:

The series primarily comprises proofs, prototypes, draft components, and pre-production materials for Barton's 2014 artists' book Land Forms and Air Currents.

"Land Forms and Air Currents' was produced over the course of the years 2012 through 2014. Original artworks were done in gouache and watercolor, then scanned and adjusted in Adobe Photoshop. Layout was done using Adobe InDesign, and an edition of 25 copies was produced on an Epson Photo R2880 printer. Pop-up forms were cut using a Silhouette Cameo cutter and were hand-assembled by the artist. Fonts in the book are Verlag Book and Bell MT. Papers are Strathmore acid-free 100 lb. bristol and Strathmore acid-free 80 lb. drawing"--Colophon
