When Dust Meets Rust

——

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence” Vince Lombardi

These books are made of around 70 differently sized pages, dyed with rusty objects like old scissors, wire, nails and tins. They contain a variety of old and blank papers, vintage photos, muslin, petals, maps, postcards, stamps, zoo and birds prints, book pages in different languages, hand-stitching and all the beauty of unpredictable imperfection.

The mystical patterns imprinted on the pages are maps and portals for the reader to explore, extending the life of this offering.
