I Dreamed We Went Fishing, and Caught a Shooting Star

The concept of ‘I Went Fishing and Caught a Shooting Star’, was born out of an attempt to combine bookmaking with my affinity for creating night lights. This book functions as an accordion book, a tunnel book, and a movable night light. The ‘cover’ contains a light inside, and the sides fold out to create a tunnel for viewing. Once you take out the book from its cover, place the box on its side, push the center to turn on the light, and arrange it to your preference. The 5 plexiglass panels depict a descent into an ocean roaring with shooting stars born out of sea foam, whirling with fish and lost wishes. Both UV printed and hand painted. This process allowed me to explore the book as a loved, reusable object and expand my definition of what a book is, and what it could be.
