Summary
This Friday and Saturday, I will be vending as a part of UMBILICUS at New England Art Book Fair. Next Thursday, we will be giving an artist talk at the Center for Photography at Woodstock as a part of their "Meet the Artist" series.
Clem and Van Houten, aka UMBILICUS, are a mother-daughter collaborative team working with photography, text, book arts, and other media to create work ranging from hand-held objects to room-size installations. Both individually and collectively, they meditate on losing one’s way, seeking home, and survival. In their work-in-progress, Dreamland, they study a 3000-year-old dune system to find possible answers to these meditations. During their presentation, Clem and Van Houten will discuss their individual approaches of exploring the same location and collaborative tactics as mother-daughter. Presented works will include independent projects Laden and Northern Circumpolar, their first collaborative work In the Orangery, and Dreamland, their latest collaborative project. They will have copies of their books available for sale and signing.
