white flowers

white flowers project - two different books using the same text: white flowers by mary oliver. I used beeswax and dried flowers, fancy papers, book board, citra-solv transfers.

The first book is a magic wallet book.

The second book is a very very long accordion book. I like the second book more I think. It has the right delicate and fragile quality I was after.

Maps!

A book I made at OCAC last semester. Going with those Maya Lin vibes. I soaked construction paper in olive oil to make it translucent - however, it also made the whole book smell like shit later, so - lesson learned. Still, pretty content with the way it turned out.

These paper cuts are for Project X at Oxbow. I'm hoping to hang them in a sort of web in the sunlight in a window so that the light can reflect through the slits onto the floor or onto skin passing by. I have ten of them now but I think I need to make quite a few more. I only have until next Friday to finish the entire project so hopefully I can get it all together by then.
