“Things We Carried Into Space” is an artist’s book that meditates on what we carry with us into the galaxy. The images, based on x-rays of spacesuits, represent the physical apparatus we need to survive, and the text touches on what we carry inside those suits: our hopes, our prayers, our memories, our songs, and our names.
The edition was printed on a Vandercook Universal III at the In Cahoots Residency. The images were pressure printed and the gil sans text was letterpress printed using polymer plates. The books were bound by hand with a drum binding structure.
