I finished my book and am pretty happy with how it turned out! Although it is fairly minimalist, I feel that it is one of my more thought out and coherent pieces. I also think that reallly focusing on craftsmanship throughout my whole process really payed off - of course I always try to do this but have struggled in the past.
The basic idea behind this piece is the relationship between chaos and order, and complexity and simplicity. When you first flip through the book, the pages appear blank, but then when you unfold each page it is filled with randomly spaced colored circles. The cover ties into this same idea as well as although it seems like just a white sheet with a few circles at first, it is actually pretty detailed with small fibers making a texture that creates the circle pattern. Overall, I am really happy with how this turned out. Of course, there are things that could have been better and that I would do differently in the future, but for now I am satisfied.

This past week, I spent a lot of time continuing to punch out paper circles, and then pasting those paper circles into my book. I filled the inside flaps of all the pages with the circles, so when ou first look through the book it appears as practically blank, but then when you take the time to actually unfold the pages they are full of colored dots.
