The art direction compliments the overall themes: water, ecofeminism, ecofuturism, life and death, grief and healing rituals, and the grace and movement of dance. Tonally, the collateral reflects the video, performance, and still artwork on display: it is cinematic, otherworldly, powerfully feminine, magical realist, and emotionally poignant. Curator’s Statement Sixty percent of the human body is made up of water and seventy one percent of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. Water, in every shape and form, is a building block for life on Earth and its importance has been recognized by many, both in the physical by sustaining life, but also in the spiritual. Water is critical in many religious and spiritual practices around the world. This manifests as deities dedicated to bodies of water and rain, cleansing rituals, and the recognition of the integral connection of water and life. The artists included in Waters Run Deep explore their own personal, cultural, and metaphysical connections to water. Featuring: Maëlis Bekkouche, Alexis C.

I spent several months researching historical botanical drawings, nature guides from the last hundred years, and modern illustration and tracing books in order to create a range of shapes to trace. The book not only encourages mindfulness and careful noticing, it educates on the history and power of the trees around us. Thirty different tree species are represented, including pages filled with their leaves, branches and seeds. Inspiring quotes about the natural world are peppered throughout.PRAISE FOR DRAWING TREES..."I’m enchanted by “Drawing Trees,” an elegantly designed book from Leah Koransky....Part meditation guide, part botany lesson, this book is a little copse of peace in a chaotic world." – The Washington Post Book ClubDrawing Trees can be purchased through Princeton Architectural Press or wherever books are sold. https://leahkoransky.com/Virginia-Woolf-Notecards Tue, 28 Apr 2020 03:00:45 +0000 Leah Koransky https://leahkoransky.com/Virginia-Woolf-Notecards Notecards that tell the story of a legendary author through color and pattern <img width="4800" height="3200" width_o="4800" height_o="3200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2c619b084f868c82a11260e81cb67056c22f483d0a1d98629bcb10be2285e84/Woolf_Env.jpg" data-mid="68736540" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d2c619b084f868c82a11260e81cb67056c22f483d0a1d98629bcb10be2285e84/Woolf_Env.jpg" /> <img width="4800" height="3200" width_o="4800" height_o="3200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/74e4ae8b5e6a99159b47bc787e99d065c85c18f4e2c9eda8d420a20467cda227/WoolfTop.jpg" data-mid="68736416" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/74e4ae8b5e6a99159b47bc787e99d065c85c18f4e2c9eda8d420a20467cda227/WoolfTop.jpg" /> <img width="4800" height="3200" width_o="4800" height_o="3200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0979ac244df54d843476f5c02b52a6ef5d97adfe8ad47951e788de0141cc8b7b/Woolf_Env-1.jpg" data-mid="68737692" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0979ac244df54d843476f5c02b52a6ef5d97adfe8ad47951e788de0141cc8b7b/Woolf_Env-1.jpg" /> <img width="5000" height="3004" width_o="5000" height_o="3004" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/585bc993a49ecfe1e42888ff673bfc10c72abe95186ee404a5a2c614b0c2f8e7/Woolf_Mood.jpg" data-mid="68738207" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/585bc993a49ecfe1e42888ff673bfc10c72abe95186ee404a5a2c614b0c2f8e7/Woolf_Mood.jpg" /> This quote collection draws from all aspects of the life and work of celebrated author Virginia Woolf: letters to her loved ones, lectures, criticism, and, of course, her celebrated novels.

Embrace human touch. Welcome everyone. ODC is a contemporary dance institution rooted in San Francisco. It needed a new identity worthy of its unique voice and restless spirit. Born from the movement of paper lines and shapes moving through three-dimensional space, the identity curves and twists like a dancer. The new visual system unites three ODC organizations with radically different audiences—a professional dance company, a community-based school, and a performing arts theater—within one strong vision.

Founded by surfer Margaret Seelie in 2015, the project exists to tell stories inspired by water. As a community-based platform, each issue takes on the life of its contributors. I used the typeface Temeraire for narrative personal stories and Temeraire Italienne for display headlines throughout the zine. Additional copy is set in Maison Neue, Maison Neue Mono, and Recoleta. Designer Savannah Rusher created the custom Wetsuit Guide title treatment and illustrations. I drew the Seawitches logo by hand; it references California surf culture, vintage paperback sci-fi and mystery novels, and psychedelia. Reflecting the DIY spirit of the zine the covers are hand-dyed with botanical inks: the blue is indigo and the yellow is fennel and oxalis flowers.
