Before their 2024 Volland Residencies, Cathleen Faubert and Kate McIntyre did not know each other. Cathleen, who lives in Norman, OK where she teaches at the University of Oklahoma, works in olfactory, or scent, mapping. Kate, originally from Salina, KS, now resides in Massachusetts where she teaches creative writing at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and maintains a practice writing fiction, essays, and flash fiction.

During their residencies in the Spring of 2024, the two shared a living space at the Grimm-Schultz Farmsteaddown the road from Volland-proper and found inspiration in each other's work.

Their studio ultimately became an installation piece, where maps, pamphlets, and antique store finds met desiccated plants, final drafts and glassware.

Join them at Volland for a reading, discussion, and viewing on Saturday, August 9 at 2:30pm.
