Entropic Oscillations to Scripps College

Entropic Oscillations, an accordion fold artist’s book from 2012 featuring wood engraving with screen printing, is joining the Denison Library Special Collection at Scripps College in Claremont, California. Printed in an edition of twenty, the work will be available by request to current students, faculty and staff conducting rare materials research. The oldest library at The Claremont Colleges, the Ella Strong Denison Library is a non-circulating rare book repository for Scripps College’s special collections focused on artists’ books, the history of printing, gender/women studies, and the college’s nearly century-old archives.
