This letterpress printed book is a visual journey through the collected fragments of life: objects, memories, and the wisdom gained along the way. Each page reveals a display of random items, akin to the things found at the bottom of a bag or nestled in a pocket. Within these pages, the mundane becomes extraordinary, as ordinary objects serve as vessels for reflections on the passage of time, the essence of memory, and the accumulation of knowledge.
{the book cover is a homeade paper made using misprints and recycled paper scraps}
Learning a traditional process of connecting a woden frame and screen for paper making, as well as creating a water mark by sewing small wire forms onto the mesh surface.
This is the little wire spiral I sewed onto the mesh using even smaller, thin wire and a special technique.
Here I am scooping a mixture of paper pulp, water, and a glue into the wooden frame and shaking to remove excess water.
After pressing the paper pulp and drying it, you get sheets of paper! The spiral shows when light shines through the thinner section where the wire form was.
