Drawing inspiration from zines as a method for disseminating theory, I typeset the essay "In Defence of De-Persons" by Johanna Hedva (available online here). I incorporated my own hand-drawn illustrations and other graphics to pay homage to zines while exploring non-normative typesetting that responds to the content of the writing.

The theme prompted my idea to ask my friends who are artists about their relationships with art, starting with my friend and often collaborator, Deirra Clyburn. Our discussion &nbsp;touched on queer &nbsp;and racial identity and the ways those topics weave their way through her art. After the interview, I used the transcript as the text for the book, pulling large quotes and placing them next to Deirra’s art.

Ann provided initial direction, the main forest timeline graphic (originally sketched by a local artist), and text. I designed the poster, adding edited icons originally from the Google Material Symbols Database, and adjusting the timeline sketch to work as a larger graphic. Rounds of feedback followed with Ann and Daniel Klein from the City of Richmond’s Office of Sustainability to create the sign to explain the benefits of this type of forest, and contrast the usual forest succession in the region with the accelerated Miyawaki method.

I typeset and laid out the book, with Deirra's feedback, and printed and perfect-bound the final books.
