The Mooring Stone Volume 1

My new zine is now available to buy on my Big Cartel site.

This zine (really a newsprint broadsheet) is all about the Kensington Runestone, which was dug up in a field in western Minnesota in 1889. The runestone tells a fairly dubious story of vikings coming to Minnesota in the 1300’s, and I’ve been researching it and making work about it for the past year. You can read The Mooring Stone from multiple angles, with competing narratives tracing the edges of the newsprint like the runes on the stone itself. Meant to be puzzled over and turned around, this document braids together stories of runestone copycats, portraits from the prairie, salvaged accounts of the runestone's creation, and staged photographic reenactments into a web of unreliable details. $10 shipped.
