Collage Bookmark Project
With this project I explored my skills in collage and thinking about handmade items and bringing attention to the creation of an object. I gave these bookmarks out to classmates, exchanging the time spent in creating for a promise of doing a free act of service for another person with the same amount of time.
It was fun to re-use materials destined for the trash (like the receipt paper from when I was a server used for the pictured bookmark) and make them into something that people could hold onto and serve a different purpose. I hope these are still tucked into my classmates’ current read, and that they are thinking more deeply about where and who their belongings come from.
