Concept

This journal is made from forgotten papers I’ve discovered in the wild. What started as a small hobby grew into a full-fledged project of collecting these “human artifacts” and binding them together using needle and thread.

Found Paper

These artifacts include to-do lists, birth certificates, diary entries, and funeral invites. Many were abandoned on the street, drifting in the wind, or buried in the used journal section at my local Value Village.

Binding

I sew the papers together by hand. This time-consuming process encourages me to be thoughtful about each choice and patient with the creation. A single 4-page leaflet can take me several days to complete. Once finished, I bind the leaflet into the core journal and continuously add to the book over time. This project is ongoing.
