The new series of “nature books” is an exploration into non traditional book forms using nature as the foundation. What makes a book a book? Although somewhat unconventional, these pieces still function as traditional books while also being objects of art. The work is heavily influenced by the beauty of nature here on the island, using materials like bark, driftwood and rocks collected on walks and hikes. Each piece is a unique combination of these elements, carefully crafted to embody the organic textures and shapes found around us. The paper inside is often recycled from other books, packaging or hand dyed. Pages are then hand-shaped to become integrated into the covers.
