Artist Books
Books are user experiences! I love the challenge of taking a bit of content and creating just the right form to bring it to life for a reader moving through the book. When I start, I never know what is going to happen, but find the answer always lies somewhere between deep study of the content and many tests of materials and structure. You’ll see the word “interactive” in quite a few projects below, as my favorite kind of book to make is one that changes with the movements of the reader.
