Invisible Makers

Collaborator, apprentice, assistant, fabricator—this project considers the unacknowledged labors that make major artworks possible. Pink bookmarks printed with historical research and transparent pages depicting the work of these invisible makers challenge our notions of authorship in the art history tome, Gardner's Art Through the Ages. The book is covered in pink handmade paper made by the artist. 

The book was commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in conjunction with the Kerry James Marshall Mastry exhibition.
