Jackie Kay poetry Book

We were asked to create a physical, hand crafted book which highlighted poems of a chosen artist in a beautiful way. One of the features included are the use of transparent paper, printed on and cut out to expose certain lines of the poems. I also experimented with a Riso printer to create the red images shown throughout the book. Another feature shown is the use of thread to score out parts of the poem, thus highlighting the key words.
