PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Close to the Bayou is a journey of artmaking in the face of death and explores what is passed on through that process.

When artist Dimitri Staszewski found out that his close friend and artistic mentor, renowned contemporary jewelry artist Thomas Mann was diagnosed with cancer, Staszewski made the decision to support Mann through that process. During Mann’s three-month treatment, he continued making work at a frenetic pace while Staszewski started documenting the physical and emotional space they were sharing.

Our cover typography echoes the Spanish Moss that hangs from trees, with different lengths of threads that hang from and partially obscure the letters creating a dimensional cover.
