"Morning Blues" started as a daily exercise to keep the blues at bay – just a few minutes of blind contour drawing before breakfast. I liked the lightness of it all – the idea of not committing to anything in particular, not having a goal, not really exploring anything.

Book art is my favorite art form because it offers a grand space for creative exploration. But not all artists' books look like books.

If you could freeze your thoughts in a moment, what would you do with them? An idea occurred to me to create their physical impression.
