A process book documenting my thinking and production process for Connected Isolation, a set informational material celebrating the 2005 Pritzker Prize Winner, Thom Mayne. Book includes a hand-sewn spine and pages. The back of all pages are snippets from my sketchbook during the project. Small messages are hidden within folds of the book.
A set of six informational cards, an eight-page book, a 20 by 80 inch poster, and a box to fit them all in. Pieces are designed to celebrate 2006 Pritzker Prize Winner, Thom Mayne and his architectural philosophy. After reading an essay of his titled Connected Isolation, I was strongly inspired by his ideas of giving people more social opportunities through architecture, to give people more opportunities to “connect.” Mayne’s essay became the title of my project and every piece aims to exist both individually, yet also be a connected piece in a bigger whole.
A 30-page, 5.5 inch by 4.25 inch zine documenting my relationship (or lack thereof) with my family. Covers are made out of pages I ripped out from a programming book from the eighties. Spine is hand-sewn with deep red and white embroidery thread. Pages printed on 20 lb Domtar Earthchoice Grey paper.
Sixteen page, accordian folded book inspired by Walter Benjamin’s The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. The book’s body copy uses three paragraphs from the text and reflects my own thoughts on mechanical reproduction. All photos in this book were self-taken.
