水, 木 (Shuǐ, Mù)
Working on the books Shuǐ & Mù was a dream come true I didn’t realise I had. From a young age, I’ve always been drawn to books and writing that could paint pictures in my mind with words alone.
Yvonne is a writer who has the innate ability to do just that. One of the most soft-spoken and gentle people I know, she chooses her words with care and weaves stories that are both beautifully complex and easy to understand.
Like a composer, her words create rhythm—sometimes slow and heavy, sometimes fast and full of spirit.
I had so much fun laying out her writing. Playing with words, illustrating the chapters, and exploring typography in a way we might never get to do in our other works makes this collection with Yvonne especially precious to me.
There are three more titles to go before the collection is complete, and I can’t wait~
