library project

 

 

 

about:

library project grew out of a love for books and zines. as a little girl i wrote stories and made books and magazines. the stories were all about families with tons of kids and the magazines were always copies of bop or teen set or seventeen. i loved to write and draw pictures. i also read all the time growing up and collected picture books.

i am older now and my fascination with this media remains as does my interest in collecting and archiving. library project is a collection of books and publications as well as space for the community to see, touch and experience books/zines in a warm friendly domestic environment: my apartment. in order to preserve the work and to make sure anybody that wants to see it gets the opportunity all work remains in-house. come visit the library, hang out and enjoy some of the most evocative and interesting work around.

 

hours:

monday - saturday 10am-10pm, by appointment only. school groups welcome.
