Binder

The pages mimic a study of family photos complete with a fictional works cited page and a laser engraved 3D object tucked into a flap at the front of the book. Binder is the first print collaboration between Merloa and Shaw but their other collaborative project include producing photo books under their imprint “Preachers Biscuit Book”.
