Entering an Apothecary’s Dream

The Making of an Arts & Sciences Installation

The exhibition book for my MFA capstone installation, An Apothecary Dreams. Only open for three days in October of 2025, the installation was a multisensory, dream-like collage of the past and present as seen through my practice-led research into reconstructing household apothecary recipes from the Early Modern period. Now, in this publication, I provide a creator-led tour through An Apothecary Dreams using art and photographs to illustrate the intimate, behind-the-scenes narrative of my inspirations, creative processes, observations, and final thoughts for the future. Available to order online in a plethora of formats—check below for all the options!

Handmade Apothecary How-To’s

minizines based on research and experimental archaeology conducted around the Scientific Revolution

I’ve spent the last few years conducting experimental archaeology—specifically, researching and recreating household goods from the 1480s to the 1710s—and while you can definitely follow the same path with the very many scanned manuals and receipt books available through databases around the world, I thought it might be useful to create some starting points for others. I usually attend local markets to sell these alongside my more successful experiments, but check below for those that can be shipped as well. (Or contact me directly if you have questions!)

The Cunning Library’s Collection of Public-Domain Magic

minizines of curated public domain works edited down to pocket-sized

Folklore, magic, and the joy of the public domain—it’s all here. I handpick different fun public domain works from over the centuries and edit them down into quick, pocket-sized reads. Like all the minizines, I usually attend local markets to sell these, but check below for those that can be shipped as well. (Or contact me directly if you have questions!)

Incorrect Medieval Coloring Books

newsprint minizines of Early Modern art and ridiculous taglines

Sometimes I just like to have a nice time. And if you do too, please enjoy these historically inaccurate collections of Early Modern art ready for coloring like the cheap newsprint books of childhood. Like all the minizines, I usually attend local markets to sell these, but check below for those that can be shipped as well. (Or contact me directly if you have questions!)

Handbound Blank Journals

having fun with handbinding one folded signature at a time

I’ve spent decades in publishing, and a large chunk of that time was as a Production Editor—someone who manages the process of creating books. My time was during a period of transition (from more mechanical to digital production methods), but fascinatingly, publishing has gone through remarkably few of those over the last centuries. I love the fact that I can use traditional techniques, vintage tools, and pretty pretty papercraft supplies to make these mini-journals.
