Adirondack Sutra

About the Project

Adirondack Sutra is a creative work that brings together selected Buddhist and Tibetan Sutra aesthetics and philosophies with contemporary Adirondack and environmental themes.

Using found texts and quotes from various poets and writers and repurposing them as latter-day “sutra” texts, this work presents them in the Tibetan book format known as “pecha,” an oblong shape that was derived from the Indian palm leaf format.
