Aperture

Aperture is a 42-page book with an embroidered paper cover. The cover design is a pattern created by digitally manipulating a paper collage to create shapes that look like the aperture on a camera lens opening and closing. The design was printed on mulberry paper and hand stitched with clear sequins. The book spine is stitched with wool/silk handdyed embroidery thread in a single needle coptic binding. Inside, each page is punched with different sized circles, creating openings or apertures you can see through.
