New Zine: Wile the Days
“I reach into a pocket and unfold a piece of paper. Within: I stand at Walker’s open window, looking straight down his stack of decades…”
Very pleased to have a limited number of copies of my latest zine “Wile the Days” available in the bookstore.
“I can wile the days, so that today and yesterday and tomorrow’s today fold upon themselves like a piece of paper in a pocket…”
Recent photographs made near my home in Pawtucket, RI, USA.
7.50" X 9.00" - Portrait format zine; staple bound

And again! Another zine coming soon: 18x24
On the heals of the release of Arbor Impar, I’m super excited to say I have a second zine coming to the bookstore very soon: 18x24
This is a book that collects the multiframe pictures I have made with my favorite walking companion: the 1/2 frame camera. I have a number of these machines that make 18mm x 24mm images on 35 millimeter film, two pictures in the space of one single 35mm picture.
45 b&w photographs, 60 pages, perfect bound. 8.8 x 415 inches; landscape format
Available in person at the UNbound art book fair at RISD and on this website on April 15.

Visit the Virtual Unbound 2020 Art Book Fair!
This Saturday April 11 was to be the annual RISD Unbound Art Book Fair but you know what has intervened. I was very much looking forward to participating (would’ve been my first time as an exhibitor) but we are RISD and we are flexible so the Unbound team has created a virtual marketplace that will open tomorrow instead.
Please stop by and check it out, support artists with a purchase if you can, friendly words are always appreciated and especially now. Unbound.risd.edu
In honor of this I have lots of new things for sale in my bookstore and starting tomorrow if use the code “unbound” at checkout you will get a special discount.
Come by and say hello! Follow #risdunbound2020 on the socials.
Be safe.
New work: Conanicus' Bow @ AS220 Project Space
Opening on Saturday February 1st. Providence in Silver: photographs by John Nanian, Warren Eve, Paul Shelasky and Erik Gould @AS220 Project Space, Providence RI.
I'm very excited to be part of this group show and to show some new work. 40 photographs with text and audio.
A walking meditation, Conanicus' Bow grew out of my attempt
to walk the Moshassuck River, only 8.9 miles in length, flowing from Lincoln RI to the bay at Providence. Used and abused, this river makes its way almost unseen through a built landscape including former textile mills, a casket factory, three cemeteries, a major rail line and an interstate highway.
I relate my experience in photographs, words and field audio.
"Even under the open sky it is difficult to see and to get to, well guarded by a thicket of trees and vines and exit ramps. There's water there? Hiding in plain sight until comes a rainy spring and with great flood announces to the unlucky that although it may be your house or workshop YES indeed: a river flows (temporarily) through it..."
Available as a book on Blurb:
