The Atlas of Emotions

A 28 page, custom made, RISO printed, artist book / zine, I created during my Artist Residence at The School of Visual Art’s RISO Lab.

“The purpose of an atlas is to map out the world and make it known. So why not do that for emotions? Emotions are, of course, not an outer landscape, but an inner landscape of feelings that can tower over us like mountains, swell up like rivers, blow like balmy breezes or erupt like volcanoes. How cool would it be to try and depict emotions—the big ones, such as love, pleasure and pain, as well as the more obscure ones such as wanderlust, curiosity and inspiration—in a way that could, even for a split second, encourage a reader to see, feel and understand that emotion, and maybe even marinate in the sense of that emotion for a spell.” — Interview for The Daily Heller, Print Magazine.
