This artist book series deconstructs versions of traditional book binding structures and incorporates a process of manipulating image onto the paper.
(The Venetian blind fold, the tunnel book fold, and an origami fold).
The books contain personal images created on expired film, then transferred to the fiber paper using tea tree oil. Some transfer images use the technique to be recognizable while some transfer images become abstracted, transfered only in fragmented forms and gestural marks.
The text is derived from my personal writings. The words are meticulously arranged to have elusive, poetic tones to allow the fragmented text to also feel as gestural as the process.
Each sides of the book are seen unraveling within their fever state, simultaneously leaving time and space in its disoriented vessel. Held on by threads, each book maintains a delicate structure, wound and binded in ways that are only accessible to be seen by one individual interacting with each book at a time.
