I would like to thank Autumn Randell, Kate Freeman, Katie Tulk, Lydia Brockman, Rebecca Orf, Angeles Jonske, and Lyda Boda for participating in this project. I know that it was hard to make time for this project every day for a week. The results are amazing.
Each Artists also included a short artist biography. It will be interesting to look back on this book to see where we were in 2010 and where we went from here.
Colophon - It was fun to write as documentation to this project.
