Books
Sample spread from "The Scents of Memories," a book in which participants were approached randomly and asked to blindly smell five scents: lemon, sage, cinnamon, pine, and coffee. They then shared a personal memory associated with each scent, and excerpts from these collected stories appear on each spread paired with vivid imagery relating to the memories.
This handmade book uses a combination of archival inkjet, screenprint, and letterpress printing.
Actual size: 8.75" x 9" (closed).

This piece was created as part of Unsaid Thoughts, a project based on the idea of communicating with others. Participants posted the things they wished to say on a blog, and pieces were created by hand that were inspired by certain posts. Once an object was completed, it was sent to the submitter in the hopes that he or she would use it to communicate their true thoughts or simply be inspired to do so.
This piece was created with letterpressed polymer clay. The text reads, "For you, since you don’t have one of your own."
