Her Cast — Chapter 4
Inspired by the nature of the sand-casting process, the chapter of the  book has to be turned around in order to continue reading (glass is cast upside down). At the end of the page, the book must be turned back upright referencing she is unloading her pieces from the sand.

Typography
Shuriken Boy by Joachim Müller-Lancé (1996-2002), published by Adobe. They are then slightly modified and treated in various ways, dominating the design.

Original Shuriken Boy (red) — Modified (grey) 
The structure of the typography and the entire publication is designed to reflect the nature of her work in relation to size, texture and weight. The rounded corner of the publication is inspired by her interest in arcs, and her work where the natural characteristic of hot glass is difficult to shape a sharp corner in sand-cast. There is only one side of the edge of the publication that finished with the curve – not only to add a touch of character but it also symbolises the form of a roof when it is laid at.
