Books
I have been creating tunnel books based on, yes, illuminated manuscripts of the Book of Revelation. I have also been creating hand sewn cut paper books with images from Japanese kaiju movies.
I made a series of accordion books based on my drawings for the animations of the play “1975: A Prophetic Drama.” I also made a couple of video books that included clips of the animations. Here’s a few photos. I showed these at the MoCCA festival in 2019 at a table with Marianne Petit and Eric Hagan. I also showed one at a virtual A. More Store at James Fuentes in December of 2020.
I will be showing some book projects at the Independent Book Fair on September 21-23 in New York. I will be showing with Eric Hagan and Marianne Petit as the Forward-Backward Collective. Here’s a few images.
I made some tunnel books based on “1975: A Prophetic Drama”, a play by 19th century American sculptor Harriet Hosmer. I am working on this project with Kate Culkin, author of Harriet Hosmer: A Cultural Biography. This project eventually will be a series of animated webisodes and an online annotated version of the original text. I showed a couple of these at Maker Faire in 2016.
Also in this gallery, paper versions of the characters that I built.
Marianne Petit and I shared a table at World Maker Faire, called Fairy Tales, Science Fiction and Freud. Gareth Branwyn wrote a lovely piece about our work on Make. Here are a few pictures.

Freud Book
I made another motorized book using an Arduino and servo motors. This one has pages embroidered with a brief quote from Freud about dream interpretation, along with illustrations.

Here are pictures of a book I made with some text from Freud’s New Introductory Lectures about dream interpretation. The text was laser cut, I sewed the pages together by hand.
