Front of my Flutterbook assignment. I made my flutterbook with ink-transferred sketches I made from observing the darling pigeons at the RISD Pigeon Club. 

Unfolding the flutterbook... 

My Flutterbook unfolded entirely. 

First Inchbook assignment for this course. We were allowed to pursue any subject matter, so I decided to depict a memory from traveling abroad in Ireland from the past summer. I remember seeing this snail upon a stone wall amongst my travels, and thought he would be perfect for the inch-book narrative I was aiming to create. 

I named this snail Swirly Snail and he is heading into the town my class lived in during our study-abroad course. This is Ballyvahaugn, Co. Clare, Ireland.

We had to create an inchbook featuring a small plastic person, so I decided to let my person have a nice time at a Parisian café.

We were assigned to create a Halloween-themed diorama book. This was very fun!

For this assignment, we had to modify an existing book. I decided to create a narrative about a fox taking a walk and finding a friend. 

This was my final assignment for this Artist's book course. For this project we were not allowed to use paper. 

For this project, I explored the emotion of loneliness, and more specifically the desire for a significant other and giving/receiving comfort. I used a relief print to create the imagery on muslin, and then sewed the print to black felt to make a pillow. The idea of making these pieces small pillows (about the size of a hand) was to mimic the idea of the desired intimacy/comfort/closeness. I also varied to intensity to the ink to create a soft element in the imagery. 

This is the spread of my work at the art show for my Artist's Book class, which was held in the RISD Illustration building gallery.
