The Field of Grass Correspondence is a small press publication operated out of the F.O.G. mailroom. Sending semi-regular correspondences and other objects throught the mail in an effort to deepen our connection with friends and collaborators. We merge extensive r&d materials collected in the commission of our design work with philosophical investigations discussed around the office. We correspond to raise questions, reinforce our intentions, and inspire continued-mutual action.
All work is made by Timothy Breen, Ben Chlapek and Kirk Faber with collaborators.
To sign up for the mailroom send your name and address through our contact form.
