My final exhibition for the Smithsonian Libraries got written up in the Washington Post :’) https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2022/12/03/jewels-leather-bookbinding-exhibit/
Smithsonian exhibit digs out the ‘nature’ in old books

An exhibit focuses on long-ago artisans’ use of natural items such as leather, flax, lead and even semiprecious jewels to create tomes.

Here’s a little thread on how the Nature of the Book exhibition came together for the #BookHistodons !
I developed the concept back in 2018 and worked on it directly until 2021, at which point I took my current job at Type Punch Matrix.
