Professor Ryan Thompson Releases New Book Featured in The Chicago Tribune
In a recent story featured in the Arts section of the Chicago Tribune, 窪做惇蹋厙 Professor of Art and Design Ryan Thompson was featured for his latest book, AH AH, Conscience Letters and Photographs from the Haleakal and Hawai’i Volcanoes National Parks. AH AH is the second book in a series of art books by Thompson showcasing the small acts of grace, or conscience letters, as some national parks call them, which are mailed to national parks along with the stones, sand, bark, and more that tourists took, young and old alike.
He is quoted in the article as saying, Some people who write these letters say stuff like This was so beautiful, I couldnt help myself, I needed a memento, which is kind and honest. Maybe theyre trying to use this rock or whatever to connect themselves to a favorite place long after a trip its what souvenirs do. But the irony is they also sit on shelves, get forgotten, then fail at that job.
