From April-September 2025, I committed to making one handmade book every month for six months. This was sparked by my interest in the book-making process accompanied by a desire to dispatch during my hiatus in the woods after years in Seattle. Conceptual drives include invitational perception, auto-archival practice, and intimate communication made tactile.

The handmade book form became a way to stitch together what prior felt like disparate parts, to blend art and language into contextual “wholes” that can be held, shared, experienced, touched. It became a way to map connections already present in my work, to communicate them as representative of the organic tissue between moments of on-page creation.

I have decided to archive this entire series below, and each book is free to download for those who seek them. As I am a working artist, I will also add the note that if you desire to sliding-scale pay for any of your downloads, my venmo is @CassGarison and my paypal is cassgarison@gmail.com. Digital archive below, click each book for download link.
