## A transparent art book

I've been wanting to work with transparent paper since I first came across the work of [Hunter Saxony III](https://pocketfullaamethyst.com/). I commissioned a piece from him and immediately fell in love with the ghostly quality of the paper and the way it adds a static texture to my prints.

For [Book//Zine](http://commissioned) I challenged myself to create an artist book using this material. To transform a series of sketches into a unified piece. "Revelations" is the result.
