Walking Libraries editions [ 2018 ] | Abigail Doan
I am just settling in after a week of solo travel in the American Southwest and time visiting locations that have inspired me for close to two decades.
This itinerary included: Mountainair and Three Rivers, NM; White Sands National Monument; the drive south to Marfa, TX and the Davis Mountains; the drive north to the Guadalupe Mountains near Salt Flat, TX on to Roswell, NM; and finally closing the desert loop with Santa Fe and Abiquiú.
This trip was very much about re-visiting those coordinates and locations that provide continuity in my land-based research and the subsequent atmospheric documentation.
I came across this quote by Lucy Lippard, while on the road, and it overlaid nicely with my current interest in editions that are print-based (photographic) as well as artifact-like in their handmade, geo-logical nature.
"A piece of paper or a photograph is as much an object, or as 'material' as a ton of lead."
– Lucy R. Lippard

Click through sequence of imagery, as I feel that it truly conveys how I feel as an artist whose process is a slow and steady aggregate of materials and observations over time.
