Books with No Words- is a growing collection of soft artist books made from fabric scraps. They serve as archives of textile tests, unfinished works, prototypes, and ideas—search for a visual and tactile language. Each book features images and symbols carefully crafted on fabric using various techniques, including hand embroidery, sewing, and acrylic painting.
Free from written language, these books invite self-interpretation and speculation. They offer no definitive meaning, leaving the viewer to construct their own narrative leafing through. They speak to dreamy feelings and abstract states—experiences that resist clear or singular explanations.
