Fine Art Books


In 2007 I collaborated with Leila Farjami, an Iranian-American poet from Los Angeles, and I illustrated and made two hand-bound books for two of her poems that criticize the female/male roles in Iranian society.
here are some pages of the two books: Super Woman Sale and Vote for Superman. The books are 14 pages each, and are 8 x 5.5 inches, digital collage (inkjet prints) on paper.

And The Tech book displayed at the Night Market event. My book was a part of the Artists Reading Room installation book shelf, created by Victoria Heilweil, Oakland, CA, May 2011. 


Quotes in the book are by Sherry Turkle from Alone Together, why we expect more from technology and less from each other, 2011, published by Basic Books.
