Notes:

Edition of 25 copies, signed and numbered by the artist. Special Collections has copy number 7/25. IaU Influxstructure: A Topography of Ghosts explores macro and micro human systems (both natural and artificial), and how we use the earth and our bodies to communicate and navigate space. When the book is closed, iron filings in the glass case are gathered in a tightly closed circle around a hidden magnet. When the book is open, the iron filings fall away from the magnet and scatter into formless dust. The map-fold variation structure allows images to be peeled back layer by layer, alternating between the miniscule (synapses, nerves, veins), to the immense (Nazca lines, US Highway systems, Atomic bomb test site). Holes in pages peek through to highlight the interconnectedness of the systems. Text alternates from prose poems to cited research. Images and text created on a Poco Proof Press through a combination of pressure prints with pochoir, and text printed from photo-polymer plates on Hahnemuhle Ingres and Uda-gami paper. Typeset in Diotima designed by Gudrun Zapf-von Hesse. " --Artist's statement from her website, https://www.kerischroeder.com/influxstructure-1 last viewed 2019-06-25. Keri currently lives in San Antonio, Texas. Alongside producing her own artwork under the imprint of Coyote Bones Press, Keri also works as an edition bookbinder and archival box maker at BookLab II with Craig Jensen. Keri's work examines landscape and objects as metaphor for the human experience with a strong curiosity behind how we understand and navigate space. The work takes form as movable structures, intricate boxes, and encasements for found objects, becoming multifaceted amalgamations of deep research, first-hand observation, documentation, and extended meditation. Reoccurring themes in her work feature topography and cartography, relics and artifacts, the anomalous and paranormal. --Also from artist website, section: Bio.
