My books are made of a variety of materials. I am interested in unusual structures. Most of my books are small and personal and can be held in one hand.

Purple journal is an exploration of a very old book structure using contemporary materials.

Homescape is a nonlinear narrative about what happens behind the closed doors and windows of a home.
