Can’t remember if I mentioned these small books I picked up a while back during a stop in Erin Ontario. Finally getting around to reading them! I’ve been thinking about doing something similar so it’s nice to see how others are combining art imagery and creative writing into artbook/chapbook objects. These are great. I will probably get more books at https://jlorito.com
Bonus: The website contains art videos!
Of these three J. Lorito books, I thought In the Tea Room/in the Keeping Room was the most haunting. It was, for me, the most personal. Using altered family snapshots, poetry and short prose, she dissects her personal relationships. Highly recommend.
Probably easiest to get from her website where she’s got lots of other books I’m going to have to get.

Her practice is informed by film and music. Lorito considers the interstices – what lies between self and other, subject and object, text and image - here is where her characters live.
