Where there's smoke., 2014

1 Volumes
"All my work has an autobiographical element to it: seasonal growth, the environments I am situated in and life events I am traversing all somehow make their way into the work. Since 2009, these small (book-sized!), detailed works in particular have collectively become a type of journal, in addition to their original intentions. Beginning with Passage, continuing with The rationale escapes me, Reap, Rationale beginning, Two years in reverse, Up my sleeve, and ending (for the moment) with Where there's smoke, these books are all different chapters in this ongoing seasonal and semi-autobiographical body of work"--Artist's statment.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
