Available now: Shelling Peas, an 80-page, limited-edition artist’s book
Shelling Peas is an artist’s book by Melissa Zarem that pairs her paintings with short prose pieces. The pieces accumulate into a book about attention and observation so that image and text together read as one sustained act of noticing.
The book was designed, printed, and handmade by the artist Elise Nicol, making this a limited artist’s edition in the fullest sense: a collaboration between two artists and an object meant to be held as carefully as the world it describes.
Shelling Peas is available to purchase now. Contact Ariel at Corners Gallery in Ithaca, NY.
