Examples of several books I have made recently. The trip books have screen printed covers, the contents are typewriter text and in some, photocopies of photos from travels throughout the United States. I like to bring elements of zine aesthetic into my book work and I always enjoy placing emphasis on the handmade, despite my knowledge of Photoshop and other computer programs for making book layout and design. In a lot of these projects the process of building and planning a book by hand is in itself a big part of the work. As such, these books are unique records of the experience of the artist, as well as the process of recording that experience - and the transformation that occurs when personal moments, memories and knowledge are preserved on the page and then revealed to others.
