About
We support and publish environmental storytelling to foster relationships between individuals, local communities, and the natural world.
Our artist books have been collected by Franklin Furnace at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, the SMFA Collection at Tufts University in Boston, and the Volumes Archive in Zurich. Through our digital archive, Impermanent Earth, we have published artists and writers from five continents and strive to represent diverse voices around the world.
We host free, publicly accessible creative workshops throughout the year, most recently with Center For Book Arts and at Brooklyn Public Library.
