No Telos! (2019)
No Telos is a collaborative artistic research project for exploring the critical role of uncertainty, disorientation, not knowing and open-ended activity within creative practice and during uncertain times. The project considers different tactics for resisting the increasingly outcome-motivated or achievement-oriented tendencies of contemporary culture, by shifting emphasis from a mode of telos- or goal-driven productivity towards experimental forms of process-led exploration, subversive playfulness and wilful irresolution. No Telos was conceived as a counter-measure to the ubiquitous demands to do more and more — faster and faster. This artist's book comprises a series of 'scores' drawing on exercises and practices first developed and tested in Venice. The city is is approached as a live laboratory for artistic research. This highly tactile edition is printed with multiple special features including a screen printed cover, multiple speciality papers, french folds, Risograph printed sections and removable inserts.
Contributing artists: Andrew Brown, Emma Cocker, Steve Dutton, Katja Hock, Tracy Mackenna, Danica Maier, Andy Pepper, Elle Reynolds, Derek Sprawson Edited by: Emma Cocker and Danica Maier

Grafting Propriety: From Stitch to the Drawn Line (2016)
Grafting Propriety: From Stitch to the Draw Line explores how textile agendas can be addressed without the use of the material. For example, how textile methodology can be recreated in drawing and the drawn stitched line. Using a recent textile research residency and a solo exhibition Stitch & Peacock at The Collection Museum, Lincoln - as the starting point to focus on a particular aspect of Maier's work.
The publication further examines drawings created during an international residency at the abandoned Spode Factory; research projects involving the use of digital embroidery combined with the drawn line; and works using historical popular surface pattern. Featuring photographs of various archival pieces, early and new artworks, and essays from leading experts in the field, acting as a resource and documentation for Maier's exploration of stitch through the drawn line.
