SUMMARY: "Channel and Flow documents an attempt to follow a stream on its path through a dense suburban neighborhood. It uses the structure of the book's page turns and foldouts to represent how the stream has been contained and fragmented by the built environment."--Women's Studio Workshop website, viewed on July 3, 2014.
