history of books: second.

"unbearable."

december2008

"unbearable," with all three of its names ("unbearable" "a love letter to no one or i don't know you but i love you," "time samples from my life.") was the second books i made, also for abra ancliffe's 2D design class.

this collage style book was meant to be a piece of mail art we sent to an artist we respected. i chose the artist storm tharp, a local fellow who'd recently shown at the PDX contemporary gallery.

i never mailed it, but i still think i will sometimes.

"lucky."

fall2008.

"lucky" holds a special place in my heart, for it will always remain the first book i ever made. this accordion book was assigned to me my first semester at PNCA--abra ancliffe's 2D class. all of the imagery was done with a single hand-cut stamp.

unfortunately, though the entire eleven page book only has approximately 8 and a half words, i still misspelled one. (this is superbly ironic given my obsession with words and spelling. the word i misspelled was "beautiful." i mean, come on.)
