Writing poetry and essays has been an integral part of Church's studio practice for decades. The writing begins in her sketchbooks, sometimes staying there, and sometimes developing into longer and finished work. Church's first chapbook of poems titled Entangled was published by Finishing Line Press in Georgetown, KY in 2024. As part of her curating practice, Church wrote essays and created printed material, including catalogs. Links for the essays can be found here:

AS A FRAGMENT POINTS TO THE WHOLE - AN EXHIBITION

C U R A T I N G 

In the winter of 2022, Church began working on a series of curated exhibitions, starting with Intimate Immensity, based on text from The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard, followed by As a Fragment Points to the Whole based on text from Essays One ​by Lydia Davis. Both exhibitions featured five artists working in a variety of mediums, were based on philosophical texts, and were mounted at The Empty Circle in Brooklyn, NY.

Church has been making her own sketchbooks as an integral part of her practice since 2002. While at the Cite Internationale des Arts residency in Paris, France in 2004, Church researched and conceived of the artist book Elemental with collaborators Shelby Lattis and Amy Seibert. The artists traveled to sacred sites both ancient and modern throughout France, Italy, and Portugal. In 2012, Church wrote, illustrated, and bound a book of poetry titled The Leap and Fall. The poems explore themes including muse, memory of home, time, and catastrophic weather. The text is digitally printed and the images are hand printed from plates created from graphite drawings. Church's book Painting the Weather, poems 2013-2020 was printed on the occasion of her show Nocturnes in March of 2020. This book is digitally printed and contains images of ink paintings and poems. In 2024, Finishing Line Press published Church's first chapbook of poetry titled Entangled.
