CHLOE M. COOKE


My creative practices are rooted in experimentation and play. I often create work that allows me to understand and discover more about the world through connections. The intersections between beauty and truth unravel before us as we move through life. These moments are often shaped by our entanglements—with ourselves, each other, our communities, and the land around us. The nonhuman experiences can show us the depths of humanity. When we document these quiet moments and intentionally weave discovery into our reality, we gain the ability to dream of new paths for ourselves and others.

Sonder








Sonder is a collaborative book project between the seventeen students within the Appalachian States Book Arts Class from Spring 2024. We all visited the Nature Preserve on campus and decided to study the site to produce our book. After we all had time to sit and connect with the preserve we concluded that a complex life existed in the space. We felt sonder about the site. Throughout this project, I worked with the design team to create the book page compositions, layouts, and ideation of three variations. During the first stage of ideation, I contributed imagery. I helped develop the concepts behind the page cutouts and how we clarified the book's narrative to our audience. Toward the end of the project, I did the last pass through the book design before it got sent to print.
