Hardbound with edge color64 pages, 35 plates11.5 x 13.5 in. / 292 x 343 mmEdition of 1,000 signed copies2025ISBN 978-1-942953-76-0 TBW Books is pleased to announce Blood Green, a new artist book by Curran Hatleberg, conceived as a coda to the artist’s acclaimed 2022 monograph, River’s Dream. Blood Green offers an alternate vision—less an outtake than a parallel dream, a shadow of the original, expanding on the darker themes of contemporary American life. Continuing his journey through the American Southeast, Hatleberg travels further downriver and deeper into its swamplands. These new images are dense and disorienting. In thickets and backwaters, animals appear only to vanish, while violence is ever-present in the human need to contain what ultimately cannot be tamed. This haunting dialogue continues the conversations between nature and civilization, and between beauty and mortality, that Hatleberg adeptly began in River’s Dream. As always, Hatleberg’s frame carries a rare sensitivity, built not from observation alone but from time shared—both with the landscape and with those befriended along the way. Printed with the same precision, exactitude and dimensions as River’s Dream, Blood Green is limited to 1,000 copies, each signed by the artist. The book is printed in both full color and duotone, offering an intimate reconciliation to Hatleberg’s evolving American portrait. *This title does not qualify for free shipping. **Please note that ONLY US orders are signed.
