“Life, the Universe, and Everything”

To mark my 42nd birthday, I’m honored to donate ten books I’ve written over the years to the permanent collection of the New Milford Public Library.

I grew up in this idyllic town and spent many formative years in its historic public library. I credit these resources for piquing my lifelong curiosity. In particular, the library’s art books and wide-ranging stacks played a central role in my intellectual growth.

I hope that this gift contributes to the library’s mission of inspiring future generations in the community and beyond.

Thank you to everyone for all the encouragement and kind wishes, especially @hbrehl, @valentineblondel, @ryanmrozowski, @andermikalson, @jamesdreiss, @nmpubliclibrary, @newmilford.ct, @nmhs_principal, and the many great artists and publishers: @davinasemo @ranabegumstudio @abbottstillmanstudio @yuhongstudio @scad_photo @janeinpeepland @ann_craven @hallchase @emma_webstah @scaddotedu @scadmoa @whitneymuseum @karmakarma9 @karmabookstore @perrotin @lisson_gallery @jessicasilvermangallery @katemacgarry @windsorflorida @skira_arte @thamesandhudson
