I make books. Sometimes I use paper, thread, and glue. At other times, other materials. I’m interested in what books are and can be. In terms of process, I often use traditional bookbinding assembly and physical typography, but I also experiment with other means and materials.

In my series Books From Things, I reimagine what the book is by creating volumes composed of readily available objects. Working modularly, I use the technique of assemblage to make one-of-a-kind sculptures from everyday, familiar items. Making variations on a theme allows me to draw on different qualities of a given object and tell different stories through each iteration.

More recently, I have begun a series called Zines From Lists. This body of work is comprised of lists of printed words. So far, they concern the naming and uttering of things. More to come.

Repetition is integral to what I do. I like to combine the handmade with the mass-produced, the individual with the anonymous. For each project, I give myself a series of repetitive tasks to perform, usually cutting, folding, sewing, assembling, gluing, or listing. Once complete, I give it a name, take a photograph, and share it.
