Issue 14

In this issue, roadmaps and guides delivered through anecdotes, studies, theory, and application shape the misshapen and beautiful practices of capturing and conveying how art is made, why artists make it, and why and how we seek to preserve it.

Image description
An image of an artwork by Rosa Navarro where four individual prints are bisected by a thick white grid line. The images each show a person's hand coated in chalky pink paint, set against an inky black background some with visible strokes and markings. Each hand has long, oval nails and makes a different gesture, either with fingers curled or outstretched, that spell out the letters R, O, S, and A in sign language.
