Artist Book El Viento

Artist Book

El Viento

2013

Concept

This is my first artist book, created during the course taught by artist and designer Julia Pelletier in Barcelona. My intention is to convey a feeling of oppression and discomfort that can arise on very windy days. The shape of the book does not allow the reader to open it in a very comfortable or intuitive way. Although the materials used are delicate papers (tissue paper and handmade paper), the creative process involved piercing, varnishing, and piercing again to create a rough, tactile texture.
