I have been posting a ton about A Strange Dinner, but I’ve neglected to share my other, more personal, works.
I am currently working on creating my first artist book titled My Dearest Kaitlyn. This book was inspired by a letter my mother had written me when I was a week old that she kept hidden until my sixteenth birthday. It explores our relationship and acts as a sort of timeline bridging the gap between our pasts and our present. I’ve spent countless hours working on the layouts of the pages and preparing them for printing. I was able to print all of the images today, and I plan on printing the text tomorrow. This means all day Friday will be spent actually binding the thing.
Below is a screenshot of some of the work I was doing last night. I’ve come quite a long ways from there. I’ll make sure to post the finished product.
