Altered Books
These images are of the following artists books:
Florence (three images)
Lamp (two images)
Garden Walls (one image)
Florence
A book made from a coffee table book of Florence. Even though the text and images are incomplete the book still says ‘Florence’. Coptic bound.
Lamp
An old book recycled into a lamp with safe led lights in a niche. The niche covered with eco printed tissue. The cover textured and embellished.
Garden Walls
The original book is a series of letters on gardening between mother and daughter who live next door to each other. Some of the letters can still be partially read but I have made the pages look like the garden walls between the gardens.
'Artists Books – the definitions are fluid and by no means ‘binding’…. The only boundaries are the limits of the creator’s imagination.'
