Spread from “Orchard Journal #2, Not Seen, Not Said,” Raymond Meeks/ Wes Mills (Silas Finch, 2011)
In the words of artist and publisher Meeks, “I continue to be inspired by collaboration with writers of poetry and short fiction and the merging of visual and word narratives. Recently, I’ve focused my efforts towards making artist books and a collaborative journal, ‘orchard,’ which presents a visual conversation with fellow artists.”
Meeks has collaborated with artists Deborah Luster, Wes Mills and Mark Steinmetz. His books and pictures are housed in numerous public and private collections, including the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; George Eastman House; Corcoran Gallery of Art; and the Howard Stein Collection.
