Folded Hands

February 2, 2022

Folded Hands is a book made from work gloves and thread. Part of the Books From Things series, these gloves were sourced from a local DIY shop and then sewn together. I like that this book reflects the gesture a reader makes when a book lays open before them, and the way they fold together.

Folded Hands was shown at Vancouver Art Book Fair and Tokyo Art Book Fair.
