Abstract/Artist Statement
I believe that books, when stripped down to their bare bones, are simply tales displayed in whatever form that tells them in the greatest possible way. I am starting with the traditional book form, and have already discovered the variety this hold alone. A book is limitless because stories are limitless. Here I have included three books: One is a short story with a unique layout and illustrations that compliment the tale about the chaotic memories of the college life. Another is a photography book of sixteen competitive swimmers, showing how they are all connected through the same sport—but are all very different individuals. And last is a hand-printed book using a form of dialogue poetry to communicate the fight of the internal thoughts that wash into reality. Each of these books consists of different mediums and tell different stories of people—illustrate how we relate, how we feel, and how we communicate. All express journeys of one, or many—each with a strong narrative of the ways we live. Through this collection, I want to show the diversity of books and the emotional connection that can be held with each one.
