Medium: Handmade paper, collage, drawings

Dimensions: Various

Handmade Books consist of several books that I made in different periods. It includes the books that I worked on during the paper-making course. These books are held together with found wire cords and cleaning mops made of ropes. The books called Drawing Exercises have ink drawings in them – small bodies make some exercises, but I also exercise myself by drawing the bodies that are stretching. There is also a book called Love Game. Its pages have the shape of playing cards with etchings of body parts and collages. The series also includes diary-style books with my thoughts and drawings. There is also the Roof Book with images of Paris and the wish to travel there on the roofs with my past love.
