The Yellow Wallpaper is a 35-page booklet featuring Charlotte Perkins’ “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a short story written in 1892, detailing the deterioration of a woman's mental health while she is placed under house arrest during a summer country estate with her family. Haunted by a woman ‘in’ the wallpaper, this booklet focuses on the idea of patriarchal cycles.

Visual motifs compare delicate lace to the solidity of ironworks, combining historical blackletter with modern digital mosaics, emphasizing how The Yellow Wallpaper’s story is still applicable in the modern age.

Printed on receipt paper, this sculptural book was displayed on a metal spindle: audiences pierce the page as they progress through the story, showing how everyone may play a part in the greater themes of the story.
