Tacha, Athena: Home

Compulsively recorded and systematically organized, A Dictionary of Steps compiles architectural diagrams of staircases. The result is a testimony to the various sculptural configurations of steps, developed and expanded upon with a kinesthetic and rhythmic language that bears similarities to Morse code. Ultimately, the reader is encouraged to take a nuanced approach to an architectural element that is often overlooked as a pragmatic and unremarkable feature of any household.

Edition of 500 copies.
