I made these books out of waste paper and worn-out clothes. The idea came up when I saw at the university how much paper goes to waste because of a bad drawing or a wrong print lies on the top third of it... So the paper is collected from old sketchbooks’ blank pages, envelopes, wrong prints by plotters and home printers. I collected these for several months to get enough paper for the books.

Some pages are white, some colored, some are lined and some are old and yellow. Each book has a special story because sometimes little marks, page numbers remain on the pages. These papers have been used, but are still good enough for sketching and writing. Sometimes I find graphic designs that I can reuse on the inner side of the cover to make the book more special.

Small sheets are spiral-bound, large sheets are sewn. Every book is different in size and color. I think that by collecting good quality wastepaper from companies and presses, much more books could be manufactured and sold as products.
