Anne (48) and Cynthia (39) make books full of pasted-in trinkets, like Landrot: 'The drawings engage in a conversation with the text'

Writer Anne Lichthart and illustrator Cynthia Borst have collaborated on a book titled Landrot that uniquely integrates text and drawings with vintage photographs and handwritten notes. Each physical copy of the book is carefully assembled by hand, with the creators selecting and pasting in various personal items to create a dialogue between the visual elements and the narrative.
