A celebration of imagination

With graduation and Christmas behind me, I now have a little more free time to share what I have been up to.  Below is the installation that I did for my senior show, A celebration of imagination.  The installation consisted of 17 different kites.  The kites were completed with various printmaking techniques, mainly relief printing.  All the kites were 26" x 26" with a 3' tail.  The tails were all hand dye, and included snippets of the  block prints that were included on the kites themselves.

Sculptural book formats: Tunnel book

My most recent book is a sculptural book, more specifically, the tunnel book. The tunnel book straddles the definition of a book, because it doesn't really have "pages" in the normal sense that people think about about pages, you can only open up the front cover to peer through the pages, but everything is presented to the viewer at once.

With its construction, it is very much a book.

This book measures 12"x 13.5"

The images were created with a combination of 5 drypoint prints (Stonehenge paper), and colored with watercolor
