This book about Warren King’s sculpture works was created to coincide with his exhibition Homecoming at the James Watrous Gallery in Madison, Wisconsin. Designer Mark Brautigam about the work:

The book takes its cues from Warren’s process. The cover features a view of the sculpture The Road Leads Home printed on a natural paper similar to cardboard. Two essays about Warren’s background and artistic process are produced in white ink on dark red paper to separate them out from the art-specific essays. Details of sculptures interact with the text, which is framed with generous margins for readability. The back cover features an embossed cicada — a recurring element in Warren’s work.

The titles are set in Ergon Light while the running text uses a classic of humanistic typography: Optima by Hermann Zapf.
