2020
Book with cut paper
7.5″ x 11″ x 1.25″
This book is a story told without words—a small red circle which grows larger and larger on each spread until it bursts unexpectedly into a pop-up explosion of color. A simple story, but an allegory for the year 2020 where something started as a small event and grew and grew into a global pandemic. I think most of us reached a breaking point, and sometimes the results were totally unexpected. Sometimes something extraordinary happened. Sometimes we grew, learned, appreciated, re-evaluated. Sometimes we were a little explosion of color.
