Student Narrative

This book takes the form of a coelacanth to explore evolution, ancestry, and what it means to be a living fossil. Inside are sewn tiles of extinct and extant species that form an evolutionary web. The soft format encourages play and interaction with shape and color. Through endless rearrangement, evolution becomes something all species aspire towards, a constant experiment with the possibilities of biology.
