Book Design: Kaari Upson, Never Enough
This publication is a hybrid exhibition catalogue / personal notes on process as remembered by close friend and collaborator Michael Beneventoto. It focuses on Upson’s ability to probe the depths of our collective psyche, while exploring her elaborate universe woven out of memory, conjecture, fact and fiction. The reader is provided an intimate WIP appreciation for craft, labor, and love.
