My artist book project explores the book as both an object and a way of carrying ideas. Rather than following a conventional narrative, these works bring together printmaking, collage, folded paper, handwriting, found books and repurposed materials.
The process is experimental and often begins with fragments: cropped letterforms, streams of consciousness, discarded paper or an existing book with its own history and associations. Folding, layering, cutting, burning and placing these elements in new contexts allows meaning to build through both the materials and the form of each work.
The project reflects my interest in language, memory and transformation, as well as the tension between what we preserve, what we discard and what we choose to question.
