Join us on May 22 for a conversation with photographer Madelyn Wigle, celebrating her latest photobook, TRACE FOSSILS, a gorgeous collection of photographs inspired by trace fossils—a category of preserved remains that provide "evidence of a life-form’s movement, its activity, and the way it lived.” Madelyn will be joined in conversation by fellow artist Angela Mathews.

Tickets for this event include a copy of TRACE FOSSILS and a reserved seat. All unreserved seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis; RSVPs are encouraged.

About the book

Trace Fossils Vol. 1 is a decades-spanning collection of images shot on everything from iPhones to film. This book is an effort to draw from the raw material of life to illustrate not just that we lived, but how we lived. The hope is that Trace Fossils makes you want to get on your hands and knees and explore the dirt and delights of your own life, and witness it with eyes wide open.

‍About the author

Madelyn’s photography exists in the moments between moments—the fleeting gestures, unguarded glances, and the weight of the often overlooked and intimate details of our existence. Her work is a masterclass in noticing—inviting us to acknowledge tenderness as our greatest human currency. With roots in the woodlands of Pennsylvania and wings in towns and cities across the American West and South, she and her photography are shaped by a love for open spaces, community building, and art making.
