SANTA FE RIVER, Santa Fe, New Mexico

This group of Ice Books was created in conjuction with SITE Santa Fe's Going with the Flow: Art, Actions, and Western Waters (April 14-July 31, 2023), a group exhibition curated by Brandee Caoba and Lucy Lippard exploring the vital role of water in the arid Southwest. The Ice Books were released into the Santa Fe River at a public launch event on Mother's Day, 2023.
