"Human Body"
8" x 11"x 1" Book Art
Definitely a unique ONE OF A KIND 3D work of art!
Colorful images and diagrams fill this book about the human body.
First it is sealed shut and then, using delicate knives,scissors, and tweezers,
I carve into into the book, one page at a time, to reveal its hidden treasures.
Nothing is moved from its original location in the book. It takes a lot of time, patience and a steady hand but the end result is a detailed 3D view of the inside and "new" life to an old outdated and unwanted book.
A clear sturdy acrylic panel is placed under the front cover to protect it from the elements. There is a notched hanger on the back so it can be hung on the wall or placed in a small book stand.

"Mammals"
8" x 11"x 3/4" Book Art Sculpture
This is a book sculpture about Mammals.
I sealed it shut and carved to in order to upcycle and create
a "new" way of seeing an old outdated and unwanted book.
It takes a lot of time, patience and a steady hand going just one
page at a time to reveal its hidden treasures. Nothing is moved from
its original location in the book.
When completed, it is sealed to protect it from the elements and can
be hung on the wall or placed in a small book stand.
I love books and I hope you enjoy this new medium!
