Museum Acquisition!

It’s an honor to announce that the Historic New Orleans Collection has acquired a portfolio of Flood State prints. A personal milestone, this marks the first time a museum has collected an entire series from me. I am grateful to Mallory Taylor and HNOC’s entire curatorial team. It is a huge honor to have this project included in their collection.

The portfolio is comprised of forty-one photogravures printed on kozo paper. Bridget Morris, of Bella Forte Designs, created a beautiful custom clamshell box to house the work.
