Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss
With environmental stewardship close to our hearts, we are pleased to be participating in EXTRACTION: Art on the Edge of the Abyss a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention which seeks to provoke societal change by exposing and interrogating the negative social and environmental consequences of industrialized natural resource extraction.
A six page article about our 2020 installation You are the Tree was published in the Extraction Catalog & Exhibition Guide, section 5, pages 556–561.
Extraction Art 2021
New projects addressing extraction issues include:
From this Earth is a collaborative artist’s book written, and produced while sheltering-in-place during the 2020 pandemic and while wildfires raged across California. It is a story of transformation. An individual journeys through a devastated landscape seeking relief, motivated by an inner impetus. Text by Nanette Wylde.
Extraction Series 2021 features seven new prints by Kent Manske with more on the way.
Milagros for Times Like These, a new edition in progress by Nanette Wylde

Hello Catty!
Saturday, April 2nd, 2011Karen Chew and Nanette Wylde are meowing up a storm over the completion of their new book Hello Catty!
Hello Catty! is a light-hearted, yet poignant play on catty behaviors couched by a feline perspective and inspired by the meanness of others.
Designed as a movable board book, it consists of five two-page spreads. Each spread contains user interactive elements: wheels, pop-ups, pulls, spinners, windows, flaps, a game and ephemera.
A Hello Catty! celebration event is scheduled for late April. Contact either Karen or Nanette to be included in the guest list. Space is limited.
See more about Hello Catty! at Hunger Button Books.
