“As a book artist, I create immersive, interactive experiences that transform passive reading into active participation. My books demand physical engagement—readers must manipulate and explore the work to grasp its full meaning. This exploration of format and content fascinates me, and I continually push these boundaries further.

My current work focuses on scientific topics such as climate change alongside explorations of personal history. Science fiction remains central to my practice—not only as a personal passion but as a lens for examining contemporary society. Current projects include examination of toxic masculinity in America and a series based on my experience sailing to Antarctica aboard a tall ship.” - Todd Thyberg
