"catnap", 2025 / digital print lmao still iterating on this concept a bit i took this book to a fair and reading it is KSDFL ORIENTATIONALLY LOCKED. which like, working as designed but also so so so stupid. anyway it's a book about "experiencing the weather you're already experiencing but smaller"

a long stretch of an accordion book standing upright. light falls through window cutouts in the pages on to the napping cat, who does a little stretch then goes back to sleep.

closed accordion book with a window cutout

first page of open accordion book. blue and orange window on the left, a cat napping in an armchair on the right

a small accordion book, closed. the cover is a pencil drawing of a ferry window from the interior, with the glass part of the window cut out revealing a sketch of the Seattle skyline on the page behind it

interior of the accordion book, a minimalist sketch of the Seattle harbor skyline looking south from downtown

skyline continued, crossing Puget sound and showing the outlines of Vashon and Bainbridge islands

"2 sq. in. of rain at 9:15 AM on 8/6/2025" / digital print on translucent vellum i held a sheet of paper in the little drizzle we got a few weeks back & took a slowmo video of the rain hitting it in order to transcribe 2 sq inches of rain from outside my front door to this book :)

a 2 inch by 2 inch book made of translucent paper with a single blue ripple and "6 08 2025" printed in red on the front. faded ripples are visible through the closed pages of the book

a spread of the book with ripples visible on both sides through the translucent pages
