Proxy Traverse features Suzanna Zak’s photographs from over a decade of wandering “through foothills, valleys, basins, granite summit blocks, watersheds, and everything in between,” primarily around Payahuunadü, the “land of flowing water” in the Owens Valley and Eastern Sierra region of California. The book also includes photographs of Zak’s stained-glass works.

A special edition of 10 perfect-bound, cased-in books housed in unique stained-glass boxes is also available.
