Text/ures of Iraq was an exhibition at the Dorsky Museum, one of the leading art museums in the Hudson Valley. I designed a hundred page catalogue to accompany the exhibition.

The catalogue presents the work of nine contemporary artists from Iraq. Text and texture have a shared origin: texere, or Latin for “to weave.” The exhibition’s title uses this shared word root to enmesh the idea of text with that of texture. A diamond pattern of crops from the work in the exhibition is used on the cover and throughout the publication to convey the theme of texture and weaving.
