Enmeshed was created by Anne Greenwood Rioseco and Daniela del Mar working in conjunction with
lichenologist, Lalita Calabria, for the Science Stories: a collaborative exhibit showcasing Book Artists and
Scientists at the University of Puget Sound, co-curated by Lucia Harrison, Peter Wimberger, and Jane
Carlin.
The structure is a flag book and broadsides are printed on 100% recycled Gmund Heidi Soft Kraft 122# paper and the end boards are covered in Dubletta. Each flag is letterpress printed on a Canuck Proof Press and handcolored by the artists. All illustrations are by Leanne Smith-Lucero and the poem “Rhizinate” was
written by Eduardo Gabrieloff for this book. The silk ribbon enclosure is hand-dyed with Letharia
vulpina.
Thanks to the Ford Family Foundation & the Regional Arts and Culture Council for partially funding this project.
Ten percent of all sales from this book, and funds generated from the forthcoming accompanying suit of
four broadsides, will be donated to Bark, Watchdog for Mt. Hood National Forest to support the return
of Indigenous conservancy on stolen land. Bark works to restore the prevalence of natural processes to
Mt. Hood forests as well as the public's investment in its protection and care.
