Not at Home: Artist Book

Many thanks to Oren Sherman for introducing me to the idea of an Artist Book. Through guided meditation and writing exercises in his class we all identified important childhood memories in order to find a meaningful subject for our books. A defunct home was my subject, presented as a stage set in a pop-up or fold-out format.

Upon reading Frankenstein in Oren Sherman's Illustration class we were prompted to conceptually "illustrate" a personally relatable moment in the book. I was drawn to the monster's conflict between inner nobility and outer repulsiveness, so I made this peacock out of garbage.
