| "In Susan Mills’ artist’s book—comprised of 26 sheets of paper hand-made from 26 different fibers—no two pages are alike. Some sheets are coarse, like peony; others, like rhubarb and leek, are smooth and even. Burdock resembles a healthy smoothie stippled with variegated greens, while kenaf has delicate hairlike fibers running throughout."
The book "directly references Ed Ruscha’s 'Twentysix Gasoline Stations'. Minimal and literal, 'Twentysix Gasoline Stations' contains 26 photographs of gas stations along Route 66, meditating on sequence, banality, and seriality. "'Twentysix Gasoline Stations is a road book from the perspective of a lone American cowboy with a car; twentysix plants is about staying in one place,' explains Susan."
