Books and Publications

An Overview

Books have long been central to my work as a collector, designer, and author. This engagement takes many forms: from major publications developed with museums and publishers to scholarly projects and small books shaped by personal interest. These pages highlight these interconnected paths, presenting the book as a vital space for research and design.

Authored Books

Books I have conceived and developed as an author—projects shaped by sustained research, writing, and design, often realized in close collaboration with publishers and institutions.

Studio Books

Small-format books developed independently in the studio—works that allow for personal exploration through writing, images, and observation, and that sit alongside the painting practice as a quiet, ongoing inquiry.
