    The concept, materials and presentation of my books are considered not only in the making of them, but specifically because these intrinsic qualities contribute to the experience of them.

Requiem is about the loss of my friend, remembered in a drawing of our last walk together. It is digitally printed on Lokta paper and housed in a box made from wooden floorboards, having had their own previous life. The contrast of materials makes the experience, of lifting the lid off the dark box and finding a fragile, almost warm thing that you hold in your hands, a physical and shared feeling.
