Single sheet structures represent locations in Alabama, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, and the United Kingdom. An accompanying map visually represents sound recordings made on-site. Denise Bookwalter and Christopher Hall translated and interpreted these recordings visually using Processing. The newspaper tells the story of the process behind the books. It was designed by Tricia Treacy and Kellee Morgado and printed by the Newspaper Club.”

Shift-lab is a collective of five artists who expand their studio practices to collaborate on artist books and multiples. Shift-lab is Katie Baldwin (Huntsville, AL); Denise Bookwalter (Tallahassee, FL); Sarah Bryant (Tuscaloosa, AL); Macy Chadwick (Petaluma, CA); and Tricia Treacy (Lebanon, NH). These women work from across the US to expand dialogue through exhibitions and projects investigating narrative, communication, and the book. Shift-lab continues to study the shift in contemporary perspectives relating to studio practice, collaboration, and both digital & analog experiences.
