Alabastron journal ships July 2024

I am pleased to announce publication of my essay, History of a People: Tracing Cultural Development Through Scent, in the premier issue of Alabastron, a journal published by the Institute for Art and Olfaction. The theme for the first volume is The Scent of Identity: Olfaction’s Role in Culture, Community, and the Formation of Self. My contribution is an embodied narrative that discusses the development and selection of the scents used in my artist’s book History of a People.

Preorders are available here. Shipping starts July 10, 2024.
