This publication accompanied Embracing Earth, an exhibition exploring the shared reverence for nature expressed by painter Charles E. Burchfield and poet Walt Whitman. Though separated by time, both captured the American landscape with emotional and spiritual intensity—through image, language, and close observation.

Embracing Earth Publication
Burchfield’s goldfinches printed on the inside cover.
Designed in collaboration with the Burchfield Penney Art Center and co-curator Sam Magavern, the catalog features selected watercolors, archival writings, and Whitman’s nature prose—many presented together for the first time. Our design balances lyrical pacing with restraint, giving space for both text and image to resonate.
