CUTTING, FOLDING & CREATING—
KELLI ANDERSON
Kelli Anderson is an artist, designer, animator, and tinkerer who pushes the limits of ordinary materials to seek out possibilities hidden in plain view. Her books and projects have included a pop-up paper planetarium, a book that transforms into a pinhole camera, a working paper record, and techniques for misusing office equipment to create animations. Intentionally lo-fi, she believes that humble materials can provide entry into the endless, tunneling complexity of our world, making those wonders accessible on a multi-sensory, rich, human level. She is currently completing writing Alphabet in Motion, an interactive book on the relationship between typography and technology with Letterform Archive.
Introduction by Regina Acra and Dan Pinnolis, MFA Candidates in Graphic Design, Boston University
