GLYPHS Collection: JESSIE square fabric journal

About the GLYPHS collection:
When I am drawing I am trying to understand and communicate with the world using an ever-changing vocabulary of marks. The drawings made for my first fabric collection—GLYPHS—were born from a series of marks asking questions around ‘what can language be made of?’

I think about the symbols from this collection as markers that could stand for ideas, time, and emotion and they serve as visual space holders to represent entire landscapes of experience.

Each pattern in the collection was named in honor of an African American women writer, poet or playwright from post-Civil War America, through the Harlem Renaissance to present day. These were but a few of the ancestors & teachers whom I consider to be the rich foundation from where I get to experience what language can do—how it can remember histories, imagine futures, and leave spaces to contain new unfolding experiences.

A note on back orders:
This item is available to be back-ordered. But please keep in mind, even though you are back-ordering this book, it will still be one-of-a-kind, meaning it will not be an exact replica of the book shown. The covers will be the same fabric pattern with a similar cover placement of the fabric, but it will probably not be exact. Also, the band colors on the spine will also differ as I am always making new bands. If you still choose to back order, note the turnaround time is usually 1-2 weeks to ship. Thanks in advance, eb

All books are one-of-a-kind, 2024–2025.
