︎NEW ZINE RELEASE 

Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate (2026)


Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate, by Qiana Mestrich, accompanies my CPW exhibition of the same name, that was on view from January 31 - May 10, 2026. This artist book consists of collage work from my collage series The Reinforcements, as well as photographs of my mother Lydia in her midtown office of the Rugol Trading Corporation in the late 1960s, and an illustrated interview between us.

The book is published by CPW, produced and printed by 1080PRESS, and designed by Mestrich with Vladimir Nahitchevansky of 1080Press.
