one grain of sand book cover

One grain of Sand,
2000:
The concept for this book developed out of a graphic design project based on a journey. I choose the concept of sand to represent my journey in transferring colleges during my softmore year. I used a children's story, based on the travels of a grain of sand and intertwined it with my own story to create a book that expressed my emotion about this experience. As the challenge of the experience increased, so did the grain of the sand paper on the back of each page, as I began to feel more settled, the sand paper grain becomes fine again.

Swatches of sand papers:

fine
medium
coarse
     
Print, sandpaper, wirebinding matte board, watercolor paper.
