Troubling Love: I Love You, but I Hate You
Category: I
Year: 2019
Location: University For the Creative Arts, Farnham Campus
Artist: Sarah Orio
This book is about the relationship between the author and her mother, which can be a complex, love/hate relationship. I wanted to express this physically in the book by tearing/painting/messing/burning the pages inside. I tried not to mess with the cover to make it seem fine on the outside when it is actually not, with the pages almost trying to break free but cannot. While flipping through the pages you can follow the journey of the relationship as the alternations start out small and they progressively get worse, with attempts of being put back together.
