Debbie Caillet - Play Book

I was so inspired by the readings this semester. I wanted to take the important aspects, the writings that resonated with me, the words to remember and live by and put them all together artistically. I created a book with pages to hold the thoughts, feelings, practices, play, lessons, and assignments discovered and learned this semester in Pedagogy. I originally wanted to create little book putting into action all of Corita’s assignments but also want to add inspirations from other reads from this course for I feel they are all interconnected. Bookmaking is a love of mine for I love the process of creating a vessel to contain art, writing, and feelings. My passion for creating a cover and the pages within is just as profound as filling the pages with the beauty of words, imagery, and art. I crafted the covers out of clay and my purpose was to have each page created by my own hands using handmade paper techniques but time would not allow. My goal is still to create my own paper for this book and also to incorporate found paper. The beauty of my project/book is the process. Each page added in its own time representing a moment, an observation, a feeling.
