Tinder is a book made from matches and glue. It is the first object in the Books From Things series. The matches were bought from several ¥100 stores in Tokyo. Physically, Tinder is now cinder; it no longer exists.
Tinder was shown at the Launch Pad Gallery, Yokohama and at various Art Book Fairs.
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.
Likewise is a concertina book made from black and white keyboard keys. This book is part of the Books From Things series. To make this book, I dismantled a keyboard and then threaded it together with cotton.
