	Pakiramdam (ii)


Risograph prints, accordion fold in folio, and saddle-stitched pamphlet, 

8.5 x 5.5 inches each.This revisits a spatial book of the same name, offering another mode of encountering its narrative. While the spatial book was site-specific and temporary, this print edition leans into the places that no longer exist except in familial imagination. The edition is variable, featuring different selections of altered family photos. It is a collection of thoughts on how migration often leads to fragmentation within a family—not just separating them from each other, but from a collective sense of home.

book/marks, 2019

—This series crystallizes those aimless images and thoughts that I keep returning to, while exploring the possibilities of a 7 x 2-inch format.

IV: Somewhere, a witch wanders, wandless

16 pages, accordion fold, risograph, 2024, 7 x 2 inches
In book/mark IV,&#38;nbsp;a witch seeks her missing friend, slipping and tumbling, pacing and falling through panel after panel, page after page. Will she ever find it?&#38;nbsp;

III: 6 Wings

6 pages, accordion fold, reduction woodcut, glue, 2022, 7 x 2 inches
6 Wings reimagines the mythological multi-limbed, winged Geryon, whom Hercules murdered for his red cows. Few depictions of Geryon have survived antiquity. To echo that, making this book, a reduction woodcut print with collaged covers, involved destroying the print matrix and parts of the prints. The book embraces Geryon as a fugitive body—forever beyond our grasp.

II: Wendr

12 pages, saddle-stitch binding, risograph, 7 x 2 inches
Wendr is a spell, cast on me by a stick I saw on the ground c. 2017. Years later, I was still thinking about it. Ruminating on magical wands, the book changes in orientation and reading direction so that reading it is akin to the pull and push of energy that characterizes magic.Meanwhile, a witch wanders, wandless...

I: A Name

12 pages, saddle-stitch binding, risograph, 7 x 2 inches
A Name is a brief, personal reflection on what it might mean to make a person. With images that allude to Greek mythology, Penelope, “the name without a girl,” is my idea of a daughter.

	Sa Salita—Stories He Took with Him

26 pages, stab-stitch binding with fold-out pages, laserjet, 8.5 x 5.5 inchesA collection of fragments of my grandfather’s stories set alongside drawings of his hand gestures. Each page unfolds to reveal illustrations, bits of personal photos, and reproduced woodcuts that reference Filipino folktales and myths, my grandfather’s life and migration, and the dining table where I would sit across from my grandfather and listen. Together images and texts describe a dozen stories and imply many more.

	3 Waves


Three accordion folds, 22 pages each, in an envelope, risograph, 2.5 x 2.75 inchesThis is a collection about water: glancing along a beach; stirring inside a body; and shaping a human world. The text is assembled from bits and pieces of articles about exploration. The accordion-fold structure and slow revelatory rhythm are haiku-like—as the landscape unfolds, our sense of the scene at hand expands and shifts. Printed on the reverse side of each book is a black-and-white image of water.

Enchiridion C.B.

36 pages, saddle-stitch binding and accordion fold, risograph and laserjet, 10.25 x 5 inches


The mythology of a trickster-god known as “Cate Blanchett,” in four parts: lexicon, cosmogenesis, epiphany, and artifacts. Enchiridion explores the arc of a god’s multiplicitous existence, the language of worship, and mythology as a means to understanding phenomena of the self. Manipulated and original images, tropes relating to divinity, and motifs repeating across multiple narratives imagine “Cate Blanchett” as a figure between reality and infinite possibilities—a reflection of ourselves. 
Finalist for the Broken Pencil Awards.

	Hibernus

10 pages, one sheet folded, risograph, 4.25 x 2.75 inchesThis comic began during a phone call with my cousin, when I doodled a bear’s face in my notebook. My cousin thought it was strange, the bear’s floating head, but I figured it was dreaming. 


I opened one of its eyes. The bear started remembering its body. My cousin said it looked very cozy. I erased and redrew it standing&#38;nbsp; in front of a panel, which might have been its dream or waking reality. The bear moved toward the full-flowing stream. Still sleepy, my cousin surmised.


The one-sheet format offers a vast snow-white space and kept me from making the quiet sequence needlessly elaborate.

Sometimes, a family is less like a tree and more like a cadena de amor. This book is a letter to my roots and vines.

The Word Sm-t


40 pages, staple-bound, laserjet, 5.5 x 4.25 inchesIn every erotic encounter there is an invisible and ever-active participant: imagination, desire. Octavio PazBrief descriptions of random Tumblr posts after the platform’s ban on adult content and of Google search results for kinky images are imposed on a grid sparsely populated with vague fleshy drawings. The result feels out the edges of erotica, the extent to which eroticism is a personal perception, and the role of withholding in desire.</description>

	Endless Distances 
28 pages, staple-bound, 1st edition offset, 2nd edition risograph, 2 x 4.25 inches


“Longing, we say, because desire is full of endless distances. I must have been the same to her. Robert Hass

	
Three women in different worlds tell themselves stories about the ones they love, obstacles to their love, and whether these obstacles can be surmounted. How much of love is will and imagination? The book’s panoramic form frames physical, emotional, and temporal distances in the characters’ lives.
