poiésis
a gallery exhibit, in your hand...
- a portable gallery
- curated and bound by hand
- dated, numbered, signed
the exhibition
now on view. in your palm.
poiésis is a gallery small enough to carry. each page is a wall. each poem is hung with care. the whole exhibition closes between two covers.
admission is one quiet evening. the hours are yours, the lighting is whichever lamp you love, and there is no velvet rope... you are encouraged to touch the work.
it comes in two styles, the photograph and the kraft, each in hardcover or softcover. each installation belongs to its edition alone. every copy is dated, numbered, and signed.
