Handmade Book
A book made in the artist's last school year in college as a summary of her path in studying art. The images came from her sketches, doodles, and school works in the past 16 years. The pages were divided into 4 sections and periods in life: early childhood, moving to Los Angeles, high school years, and studying at Otis.
The background of each page was created by letterpress pressure printing. The image and the type were printed by silkscreen and letterpress with photopolymer plate. The cover was screen printed on maple paper wood.
