During the pandemic, with an abundance of time and a desire to explore, I set out to learn how to make books. I found the process of making books a meditative balm for stressful times. I cherish the fact that, unlike most other forms of art, the viewer gets to interact with a book, becoming an active participant in the process of the book becoming a meaningful piece of art. I have enthusiastically continued my journey with bookmaking as the worst of the pandemic fades.
