Cuba Book Cover

On the eve of the spring semester, it seems fitting to post these pictures of what was my final for my freshman seminar titled "Mapping Cuba."
We were instructed to make a portfolio of work that we had written throughout the class, and add some new elements, including one item in an alternative media, so naturally I went all out, spinning, dyeing and knitting the cover for the portfolio. Pictures follow.





The color changes were a happy accident. The goal was to have one cohesive piece, but when that first piece proved to be too small for the pieces of cardboard I used as backing, I had to improvise, and this was the result.


Happy New Year everyone, and for those of you in college, best of luck this semester.
