Chinese proverbs with a translucent touch



This book was inspired by a children's proverb book I used to own as a kid. Since I moved to Canada, Chinese calligraphy slowly changed from a form of language to a form of art. For me at least. So I decided to make the focus of the book the words themselves. The translucency of the mylar really gave the text a surreal feel. I hope you guys enjoyed seeing this book. And yes, it was sewn with dental floss.
