She&#8217;s based in Philadelphia, but has done extensive traveling through Asia&#8230; I love this story from Colette&#8217;s site:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;For 6 months, I traveled between Shanghai and select minority areas in Inner Mongolia, Northwest Xinjiang Province, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Zhejiang Provinces.\u00a0Traveling through the mountainous Yi landscape, one old Yi man told me, \u201cAlthough an eagle flies far into the distance, its wings will fold back. For the Yi, the ultimate goal of life is to find the path of your ancestors.\u201d Another Yi man advised me, \u201cDon\u2019t follow the black road, which is madness, dampness, illness and the ghost road. You should follow the white road, which leads you back to your ancestors.\u201d\u00a0Constructing pop-ups allows me to combine intuitive design and technical acuity with my love of traveling as I try to understand the world around me. With pop-up books I want to eliminate the boundaries between people, book, installation, photography, craft, sculpture&#8230;.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beautiful.
