In Intuitive Alphabet, Michele Oka Doner turns her keen eye to the glyphic forms embedded in shells, sponges, and other natural forms she found, collected, and curated during her frequent walks on the beach. In her art book Everything is Alive, one is led through the artistic processes behind some of her prominent art installations. Oka Doner will be joined in conversation by New Yorker staff writer, and contributor to Everything is Alive, Judith Thurman.
