Mixed Media Book Art


Looking for the book-in-a-day series? 

Book-In-A-Day

THE MAGIC OF WORDS

In 2009 more than 100 words were removed from the Children's Oxford Dictionary. This book is the start of a collection of poems seeking to reclaim many of the words that were removed. The book is hand-inked, letterpressed using moveable type, and it utilizes the whirlwind structure. The book is in an edition of 10.

CARTOGRAPHIA: a collaboration with book artist Jody Arthur

A set of one-of-a-kind books created by Kiala and Jody via postal mail exchange. We used a variety of media to create the books and each took a turn adding to or subtracting from the previous transformation. It took us a year between moving and graduate school, and teaching and life, but it's here and done and it was an amazing collaboration.

A YEAR OF CONSTANTS

This one-of-a-kind accordion panel book covers the span of one year in my life and explores how text and image relate to one another when the images are abstract and seemingly random. It includes pochoir, original stencils, and original, typewritten text.

BOUND

A tribute to my newfound love for book arts -- specifically binding and book structures. This structure was created by Hedi Kyle and taught to me by Julie Chen at Mills College. The book includes rubbings from the Bindery at Mills College and pieces of materials used to bind books.

WIN: a mini accordion book with removable spine

This one-of-a-kind book holds several two-letter words that can be used to play Scrabble. It was inspired by the small books carried in pockets and intended to be concealed. The size of the book is perfect for the palm of a hand . This structure was chosen because it lends itself to hidden text on the back side of the accordion.
