PROJECTS
First Last
We publish artists' books and editions. The project has been co-run with Sean Murray since it began in 2018. Our launch events have spanned across New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Tokyo. The project serves as a platform for exploration in photography, design, and publishing. All previous editions of First Last can be accessed at the Haas Arts Library at Yale University. First Last is distributed in shops internationally including Commune (Tokyo), Bungee Space (NYC), and Actual Source (Provo, UT). firstlast.us
