Hands

An abstracted autobiographical investigation of memory through book design and materiality.

Interior spread.

Hands is a part of my Body as House series, which are a collection of art books mythologizing my engagements with my physicality as a form of recordkeeping. In particular, Hands iconoclasts handedness as cleanliness with performativity as a validation of domestics.

Constructed with Chipboard, Paper, Vellum, Fiber Cord, Ink, and Pencil.
