Nashville 2018 Interviews

In 2018, I set out to capture a moment in Nashville's creative history & the result is an edition of 15 unbound books.

Process

I interviewed 9 creatives, focusing on people that I felt were also creative community builders. I then designed a series of posters based on those conversations. I collaborated with a local bookbinder who made the enclosures for my limited edition of posters. The final book includes a state of the community letter & a note from the author.

  • Once the book was done, I wanted to give each participant a copy. The interviews were conducted 1-1 over the course of the year & not all the participants knew one another. I hosted a small, private, cocktail hour at 21C Museum & Hotel to bring everyone together.

  • Lily Chase Hansen kindly interviewed me about this project in 2019. You can learn more about this project by reading the interview on her website, Word of Mouth Conversations.

  • There are only a few copies left for acquisition.
