All work shares a theme of high quality, grounded craftsmanship from simpler times. Most books are bound using traditional methods and all are bound by hand, stitch for stitch. I work with discarded materials, previously unwanted for their “imperfections”, or simply left over from someone else’s projects. I strive to highlight and affirm these imperfections as marks of beauty and character in my work. It is my aim that every scar and tear (in the materials) will draw us in to a connectedness with their origin. The materials and methods I use tell a story and share a history which draws us to the sense of connectedness for which we hunger.
