I made this collage for Sofia, who is heading out to her first summer camp (Peace Camp in Atlanta!) this week. It’s glued into the pages of a handmade journal by Deborah Feehan, who uses a mix of found and screenprinted paper and binds them into old book covers (in this instance, Cricket Songs, a book of Japaneses Haiku translated by Harry Behn).
