Hand, Held, her artist book about her father’s art, is forthcoming from Bored Wolves. The broader project of Hand, Held—haptic traces in the form of zines and installation, part of which were exhibited at Rehearsal Art Book Fair and the Jersey Art Book Fair—is ongoing. The next iteration appears in the 39 Footnotes group exhibition at Accent Sisters (February–March 2025).
