Art direction, illustration and typesetting of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novella The Yellow Wallpaper. Limited edition of 10 books risograph-printed in medium blue and yellow on one-sided yellow paper, and handbound using French folds and Japanese stab binding.

The experimental typesetting reflects the mental state of the narrator, who becomes increasingly agitated and unstable throughout the book as she gets more and more obsessed with the patterned wallpaper that surrounds her in the room where she is confined.

The words slip in and out of the French folds like the imaginary woman who the narrator sees moving in and out of the wallpaper. The story is written as a series of diary entries, reflected in the small book size based on the size of a 1890s diary, and the use of blue ink common in fountain pens.
