During my residency at University of Arkansas Fort Smith, I produced this small printed book. Smoke Horns Tires combines my skills in graphic design and photography. The book collects details from found photos and staged examples of the titular objects which were central to the work I made on-site.

In the middle of the book, without warning, the content shifts to Men’s Thrill, a self-contained insert. While we have learned to accept this kind of non-sequitur while surfing the web, or while switching TV channels, it is much stranger (and more exhilarating) in print. And even though the two documents are separate, there is seepage of each book’s content into the other

Smoke Horns Tires was a component of my end-of-semester exhibition and copies were given to all who attended. It was a gift in exchange for the generosity of the residency, and an example to the UAFS students of a way to combine design and studio art which, in the classroom, tended to remain separate.
