I designed, created, and hand-bound a book featuring short stories, poems, and essays by writer Wendell Berry, structured to move thematically from darkness to the unknown, and finally, to light. The book combines original photography with experimental typography, where I manipulated type using a photocopier and light table to layer homemade textures, fabrics, and artisan papers—creating a tactile, immersive reading experience that blurs the line between literature and visual design.

 

Interested in experimental typography, I warped the look and feel of the type by experimenting with a photocopier and light table, to layer homemade textures, fabrics, and artisan papers.
