- Why did you create this work?
The issue, "Farenheit 214", features stories about Texas' banned book problem— it's second in the nation (just behind Florida) when it comes to banning books. (214 being the area code for Dallas) Because my illustrations are paper sculptures, I had the unique opportunity to take my concept all the way to its limit. I set it on fire. - How were your illustrations used?
