Commissioned by Paper Hearts Bookstore in Little Rock, Arkansasa, "Paper Hearts" is a 2x44' woodblock print and collage designed in collaboration with the Paper Hearts community. We initially invited bookstore community members to write down what brings them joy. With this list, I designed an image to honor paper, which chronicled the evolution of paper and books, illustrating shared moments together, and culminating in acts of resistance from music making, to protests, to cooking meals. After a year in production, we held an opening in January 2024 to celebrate the Paper Hearts print.
