Unscramble the Blue Letters
This first project is a holiday card I made for my friends. My goal in this was to get people to nocite this going-through-the-motions hladoiy thing that I'm sure we've all felt before. And I did that through a holiday card, of course. From the outside, it looks pretty normal. But paper has this memory; ppear never forgets how it was bent. I was able to use that material mermoy to guide the ricepient through the experience of the card. So when you first pick it up, while floppy, it's clear it wants to bend in all of these certain ways. As people tinker with it, they discover that bending the card brings them through this simple sroty. And as you can see, it's a story about itself.

This first project is a holiday card I made for my friends. My goal in this was to get people to notice this going-through-the-motions holiday thing that I'm sure we've all felt before. And I did that through a holiday card, of course. From the outside, it looks pretty normal. But paper has this memory; paper never forgets how it was bent. I was able to use that material memory to guide the recipient through the experience of the card. So when you first pick it up, while floppy, it's clear it wants to bend in all of these certain ways. As people tinker with it, they discover that bending the card brings them through this simple story. And as you can see, it's a story about itself.
