For a decade, Patricia Fernández amassed a collection of objects as part of a time-based project between her and her friend, the gallerist Young Chung. This publication by Commonwealth and Council with the support of Los Angeles Contemporary Archive (LACA) shares the contents of the artist’s letters, ceramic ware, newspaper ephemera, textiles, sculptures, drawings, paintings, mementos, and written agreement between Fernández and Chung that initiated this correspondence collection. The book, designed as an inventory, tells the story of Fernández’s prolonged period of isolation in the Mojave desert, her transition into motherhood, and Chung’s risky formation of a gallery, sharing with us an archival collection that highlights the care between one another.

Includes special artist edition case.
