Raw Materials in Peace and War is an ongoing series of artist books, named after an economics book written by Anderson-Staley’s grandfather in 1937, which explore the intersections of history and private lives, especially in moments of conflict and tension. Her handmade books are unconventional autobiographies that reimagine her father’s mountainous archive of papers, even as his memory is increasingly lost to dementia. She prints her own photographs and paper negatives derived from her father’s papers, directly onto her source archives, forming palimpsests on which the layers challenge and erase each other, creating new associations.
