Laura Nissinen
I haven't discovered what this means and think I need to ask Laura. All I can say this is one of the best books I found so far. The attention to detail in its construction is beautiful, and the content even better. The front cover has a profile that has the texture of rubber, and the cover itself is made from a weaved material. Internally the pages have a rough feel slightly like a newspaper but thicker— exquisite design.

My first Tutorial with Laura today proved very productive, and I received positive feedback. Laura suggested that I add further text to my book 'Mothers Love', and then it could be published or displayed in a gallery. She also suggested the '100-year-old orange’ be photographed on its own rather than with the Tankard. I explained I would be creating an image-based around the Ricard Martinez practice and use this in my project as well as the week one assignment. Laura also suggested that I begin introducing myself when I was a child into the project and concentrate on the Punctum by focusing on details like the close up of my mother’s eye. I have found several photographs relating to me in my youth which I will explore over the coming weeks.
