LITTORALIA

Littoralia

Littoralia is an continuous series of artworks by Maggie J. Whitten Henry emerging from daily research-creation practice and her ongoing Master of Arts in Island Studies thesis project.

Coming from the English 'littoral' (relating to or situated on the shore) which in turn comes from the Latin 'lītorālis' (of the shore), littoralia may manifest in forms such as (but not limited to) landwash, marginalia, and reflections.

lit•tor•a•lia: items situated on, connected with, or relating to the physical or metaphorical shore.

Some works in this collection are directly inspired by specific texts, while others emerge from the creative process and are then further illuminated through conversation with relevant literature.

This self-published book, available to read online through issuu, contains a number of works from the ongoing series.
