Welcome home!

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Hello!

I’m finally back home and back to work

after three weeks in Taiwan and San Francisco visiting family.

. . .

It was a lovely trip involving lots of food and warm weather.

Here’s some images I took to help your think of spring!

Looking Back and Looking Forward

Friday, January 1st, 2010

It’s New Year’s Day,

and I think it’s a simple necessity

to look back at where I’ve come from

and forward to where I want to go.

. . .

This blog started off as a rambling jumble about my life,

and has changed drastically

to become much more about my work and my goals.

. . .

I like it.

. . .

In this new year I hope to expand my business.

I want to spread creativity to all those around me,

and hope to inspire those around me.

. . .

Happy New Year!

. . . . .

. . .

. . . . .

Also, for those of your who haven’t heard,

please read my story over at kickstarter

about turning this bookbinding into a full time career!

. . .

Thanks.

Thesis Work

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts.  I’ve bee very busy with my thesis work, and it’s finally finished!  I’ve been working on a project called one thousand books.  I made a thousand handmade books with photographs of the proceess to accompany them.  Part of the process involves the viewer taking the book, so hopefully by the end of the show, it will no longer exist!  They’ll be installed next week for my commencement show, and I’m very excited!

Here are some installation views from my final critique.

Things To Do: National Cherry Blossom Festival

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

So, since I will be leaving Baltimore in a couple months, I have been trying to do things that I wouldn’t get a chance to do otherwise becasue of distance or otherwise.  The first week of April marks the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C.  I’ve been meaning to go every year, but just never get around to it.  This year, I AM GOING.  I am making it happen.  There is apparently a parade and other such events, but we shall see what happens.  I’ll post images after I go!

Oh Thank Goodness.

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

After a week and a half of apartment hunting and other such adventures, my last spring break has officially ended.  I saw 17 apartments in Boston, and ate tons of good stuff, but now it is time to focus on finishing my thesis and finishing up school.  Four years in Baltimore has brought its ups and down, and I am definitely ready to move up and out in May.  Mark and I have found a great little house in MA, and I am super excited to be moving!

Here are a few snippets from my trip.
