Where the Heaven Flowers Grow
Publisher
Unbound, hand-finished, with reproductions of archival objects hidden between ints folds, Aaron Huey’s photobook documenting landscape artist Leonard Knight and the mountain he built near the Salton Sea is an experience designed to immerse and transport. Recognized by Smithsonian Magazine as one of the top ten photography books of 2015.

“Much like Knight’s mountain, the book is meant to be experienced as a physical object. The various photographs, letters and artifacts contained within the cover are best enjoyed petal by petal and scattered upon a table before you. In the spirit of Knight’s life work, the book is not bound by traditional rules of the medium. It is beautiful rethinking of the photo book and has us excited about future releases from Huey’s new publishing venture, Outsider Books.”

Along with the trade paperback book, I published a super limited edition art book through Outsider Books, the publishing house I co-founded with Aaron. Profits from books sales supported Salvation Mountain.
