I’m firing up the blog again. As I continue with production of all kinds, I am finding it worthwhile to capture time, process, and engage in more writing on books and related topics. I published a new artist’s book FIRE STUDY this year. The gallery of images and a bit about the book is here. I also wrote a more in depth artist’s statement on the book and have posted the text contained within which is mostly writing by me with excerpts from Henri Lefebvre’s The Production of Space and Stephen Pyne’s Fire In America. If you are interested in purchasing one of the 25 copies in the edition, you can contact me at aborezo@gmail.com.
It's 2021...
Fresh content coming soon to the blog. In the meantime, you can visit my instagram page for my most recent work. @amyborezo

NEW OCEAN, a new artist's book
In April I traveled to Death Valley, CA to do research for a new artist's book that will be published in 2019 and available for pre-publication sale in October 2018. The book considers the nature of freedom and wilderness using Death Valley as a site of investigation. The geology of the area is incredibly dynamic as the earth's crust thins and pulls apart, creating a continental rift where a new ocean will eventually form. The two ridges on either side of Death Valley were once joined, but have been separated over time. I'm visually stitching the two back together in images throughout the book as an attempt to metaphorically see the "whole" site, with its complex history of human occupation as well. The text for the book places a travel narrative to Death Valley written by a suffragette from the 1920s side by side with an accounting of the effects of nearby nuclear testing on the Native American population. There will be 40 copies for sale in the edition, with 10 available in sheets and 5 deluxe copies. Watch for the pre-publication sale in October.
