Artist Book Pre-sale
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder. I am a book artist and MFA student currently working on my thesis, which is to build a visitor's center for a fictional desert ghost town. The visitor's center will contain artist books, interactive dioramas, brochures and other ephemera structured around the mysterious, harsh, and sometimes absurd backdrop of the Mojave desert.
I am inspired by the process of collection and display, to make order out of chaos. I am interested in how information is sorted, condensed, and distilled for mass consumption. I hope to create works of art that illicit a sense of wonder that encourages further investigation. The layers of meaning should be revealed through interaction like a puzzle, yet be approachable. I want to shed light on the things from the world that often go unnoticed.
In short, if you are a lover of the desert, ghost towns, oddities, and the beautifully bizarre, this project is for you.
In order to offset some of the cost of materials for this project, I am pre-selling some of my artwork at a discounted rate. In addition, every person who contributes will receive a Visitor's Center Membership card and have their names displayed on the list of supporters (or not, if you don't want it!).
When completed, the installation itself will be part of an MFA thesis exhibition at a gallery in Oakland California in November 2015. I promise to post updates of the progress of this project as it happens, and all sold pieces will be shipped in a timely manner after the exhibition ends in December (before the holidays, hint hint!).
Please check out my online portfolio at kerischroeder.com or feel free to message me for more information.
Thank you so much!
