(Prompt: ^{(Tear a piece out of one of the pages of this book. Take note of its shape, how the paper tore. and then grab a needle to stitch it back and mend the page. Think about an item you loved that got worn down from use. What did you do with it after? Have you ever mended something?)}

*Note: Due to lack of resources and artistic decision, the scraps were unable to be sewn back into the notebook.)

I chose the prompt: We layered fragments of posters, magazines, and everyday campus materials into the prints. Imagine asdung your own trace to the book.

This is a trace, I believe?
