promises book

An art book loosely inspired by woodblock print charms, divination practices, and how we try to make sense of our wishes, futures, and place in the world. It consists of 24 sheets or cards with illustrated panels, grouped into the 6 themes. Each panel is accompanied by a fragment of text, to interpret or ignore—the text is printed in reverse on the back of the page to create a semi-obscured effect. The pages are punched and bound with a loop of ball chain, and are intended to be rearranged, removed, or displayed as you like.

Risograph printed with mist and brown ink (additionally bright olive green, bright red, and medium blue on endpaper)
