We are pleased to announce our newest publication, We are pleased to announce our newest publication, “History Constructs the House that Sometimes Holds Us” by Alexis Callender @alexiscallender! 

“History Constructs the House that Sometimes Holds Us” traces the chaotic policies of housing removal and tenant relocation that were central to the mid 20th-century federal urban renewal programs. Drawing from archival collections in New York City and New Haven, Connecticut, the layered images reflect the intimacy and violence of bureaucratic systems. In decentering established narratives of Urban Renewal programs, we can hear community anti-displacement histories, and the insistence of doing memory work to understand the systemic roots of generational housing injustice. The scale and accordion structure of the book allows the reader to experience the pages as a landscape, moving inside and outside architecture, time, and memory. Read a full description of Callender’s book on our website, link in bio to learn more.

A PDF of this book and a corresponding research guide are available to download for free at alexcallender.com

Happy 80th Birthday to WSW’s beloved Robert “W Happy 80th Birthday to WSW’s beloved Robert “Woody” Woodruff! Woody’s been with WSW since 1977 and we’re thrilled to be celebrating this milestone birthday with him!

“The Woody Way is something we can all learn from. To just be here to help, with minimal expectation of reciprocity or gain, and to approach the solving of problems as creative practice and meditative joy. The Woody Way has been the driving engine behind WSW’s daily unfolding for decades, and in honoring Woody, we encourage ourselves to embody it.”

Mikayla Patton @mikaylapatton.art recently wrapped Mikayla Patton @mikaylapatton.art recently wrapped up her residency with WSW! While on-site, she worked in our papermaking studio making handmade paper using an abaca, cotton, and flax blend and embedding porcupine quills. Patton also constructed a box as her book form, using letterpress printing on the bookcloth for the front cover and for a printed fold out. She joined WSW through the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art @bimuseum.of.art Artist’s Book Residency Grant for Indigenous Artists.

Mikayla Patton (b. 1991, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with paper, sculpture, quillwork, installation, beadwork, printing, plants, archival and found materials. Her work employs Lakota methodologies and adornment practices to explore themes of healing, growth, and renewal. Currently based in Pennsylvania, Patton will receive an MFA in Sculpture from Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College in ‘28 and holds a BFA in Studio Arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts.
