This is an old revision of the document!


Dust and Shadow publications are meant as worldbuilding experiments in their own right. The Fieldnotes are suggestive impressions accompanying each of FoAM's field trips in Arizona. They are published as web-articles. Readers or commonplace booklets are self-published collections of writings, quotes and bibliography designed to accompany our public experiments and to be shared with interested audiences in-situ and online as e-pubs. Towards the end of the project we're aiming to publish a book as a field guide to a possible world of Dust & Shadow.
