Paper Passages

Paper Passages gathers together the pages and booklets artists Allison Cooke Brown and Martha Hall exchanged through the mail for three seasons. This intentional gathering provides an intimate glimpse into the thoughts and lives of these women as they cycled through healing and heartache.
The work was conceived in a moment of transition for both women. With her cancer long in remission, Brown had just completed art school, while Hall’s own illness had forced her from her corporate career and brought her back to being an artist. The project offered a space for each woman to examine and reflect on her art practice, illness, family, friendship, national events, and more.
