Easy

Artist book of handmade envelopes and digital monoprints.

I designed this book while studying papermaking, printmaking & book arts with Helen Frederick. I merged intaglio and monoprints together digitally, laser printed them, and inserted them into artist-made abaca envelopes (look closely for watermarks corresponding to my family tree!)

Determining the prompt for this book was a two-step process: 

1. Draw two objects out of a grab bag filled with odds and ends

2. With those objects in mind, pose a question to answer in the book.

I drew out of the bag a two of spades and a plastic shower cap. The question I decided to answer was, “When were things easy?"
