Safety
Safety explores the ambiguous nature of public space and the unreliability of appearances through the use of cliché and repetition. The structure of the book itself, a two-sided accordion, mirrors the dual perception of threat and security often experienced in a crowd.
Safety is held in numerous public collections, including those of the Arthur and Janet C. Ross Library at The American Academy in Rome; the Center for the Book Arts in New York City; the Joan Flasch Artist’s Book Collection at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago; the Knight Library at the University of Oregon in Eugene; the Kohler Art Library at the University of Wisconsin, Madison; and the Museum of Modern Art/Franklin Furnace/Artist Book Collection in New York City, as well as numerous private collections.
Safety is available for purchase through Printed Matter, or by contacting jennifer at jenniferyorkeartist.com.
