“foreword: a self research process using analog and digital techniques to manipulate childhood photos and [later] journal entries, juxtaposed in attempts to piece together fraught memories.”

the creative process

Gather materials (old photographs, journal entries, & letters)
Digitally document using an analog scanner bed (& have fun with it!)
Digitally overlay & edit written text assets with photo assets
Create traditional stamp word text to accompany visuals
Print & destroy (rip, scratch, gouge one-sided paper spreads)
Assemble spreads & text, scan, & optimize for CMYK print
Print, fold, & saddle-stitch bind
Reproduce!!!
