Book Project

• For this project I had to chose any book I liked and fold tear cut destroy glue and anything else I could thing of think of. I had full control over what I researched and experimented with on this project.

• I first researched into general book art and there was quite a lot of different things artists had done with the books.

Research

I found this piece of art during my research but I don’t know who the artist is but I love the flow of the paper. And the different heights it gives

the impression that the paper is coming alive and growing.

Mysterious Paper Sculptures

One day in March, staff at the Scottish Poetry Library came across a wonderful creation, left anonymously on a table in the library. Carved from paper, mounted on a book http://thisiscentralstation.com/featured/mysterious-paper-sculptures/

Mysterious Paper Sculptures

Theses sculptures kept popping up and the artist had clearly spent a lot of time perfecting these tiny pieces of work just because they could.
