photography | layout design | printing | bookbinding
The objective of this project was to shoot, design, craft, sew, and bind a photographic book. There are two copies of the book. Each copy is 40 pages, sewn in signatures of 8, and hardbound by hand.
I used the photobook to showcase street art in a way that's normally reserved for fine arts. By doing this I encourage the viewer to re-assess their perception of street art and its place in the art world. I chose to focus on the work of Portland Street-Artist RxSkulls as my photography subject.
Preparing pages to be sewn
When this project was completed, I sent one copy of the book to RxSkulls as a token of my appreciation for his art.
