There has been much discussion over the last several years about how e-books will replace the printed book. I wanted to experiment and find ways to create unique physical books that make people think about them in a dierent way. I believe that both forms (physical and e-book) can coexist. The physical book needs evolve to continue to be relevant as the e-book comes out of its infancy and continues to evolve and grow into its potential. My work investigates and examines the tension between form and content of physical books. I design, write and illustrate physical books that explore form and consider how that form echoes the content of each book. The result is an opportunity for audiences to experience a physical book on a deeper level. As the medium of books change, how we make books needs to continue to evolve in order that books, regardless of their tangibility, maintain relevancy and a strong relationship to story.
