[extinctionstories]

And Then There Were... a miniature counting book that I illustrated and bound by hand. The book is 5 1/2 x 3 inches, and features the extinct Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, Heath Hen, Eskimo Curlew, Labrador Duck, Great Auk, Dusky Seaside Sparrow, Bachman's Warbler, Ivory Billed Woodpecker, and Kauai ʻōʻō. Illustrated in traditional pen & ink and watercolor. Like Grasping at Feathers, this book also includes cut-out elements. The concertina-style pages fold out to form one continuous spread. Created as an edition of 5, but I have plans to do another larger run.

Moving to Re-Usable Modular Cradles for Exhibits

Following her attendance at an AIC workshop, in May 2022, led by Alessandro Scola—Senior Book  Conservator at Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University—our former Gladys Brooks Conservation Fellow, Maren Rozumalski, conducted a cradle-making training session here at our lab, based on what she had learned about Mr. Scola’s system of fashioning modular and reusable cradles. She left us with an excellent set of instructions, templates, and tools afterward.

In the Fall of 2022, we built up a ‘fleet’ of bases of different sizes and display angles. For the recently mounted Hesburgh Libraries, Rare Books & Special Collections Spring 2023 exhibit on Irish Book Arts, we began using the new cradles for the first time. The cradles are made using lightweight and pliable PETG plastic. We have been pleasantly surprised by their overall sturdiness and the variety of book sizes and formats that they can support.

Not only will the reusable bases save us production time in preparing for future exhibits, having at least half of the structure already made each time we begin to construct a cradle will mean using less plastic for the one-time use custom pieces that will be necessary, which will have a positive impact on our budget and also the environment since there will be less plastic discarded per exhibit.

With a love of book binding, I decided to make a tome dedicated to my students to mark their spot in the annual record of time. (It's a yearbook replacement to keep all of my student's signatures at the end of each school year).

Artist book prototype, for roots 2023

My dad said huh interesting and then praised my sister's artwork and then told me to start doing something (applied to over 100 jobs collectively with my partner..) so any love here would be appreciated.

Kinda feeling low.

SQUARES: A THESIS

What are squares? And where are they in a book? Why are they called squares and how did they even come into existence? I am about to embark on a journey to learn and discover about the mystery of squares. Book squares is the research topic for my Masters programme thesis which will take me down the road through the history of bookbinding, the evolution of squares and what problems do they cause? Yes, I am so square, I can't help it.
