I have embarked upon a new adventure, sparked by the great fun I had creating
this altered book/assemblage/collage. I'm not really sure what category these belong in, though. They
are altered books, but might they be
too altered to be considered altered books? I mean, I did alter them- if that's what you call ripping them apart, gluing stuff onto them (both 3D and 2D), drawing on them, cutting holes in them, and putting them together completely differently. I suppose they're not really books any more at this point, so perhaps 'assemblage' would be more accurate. Maybe I should call them 'deconstructed reconstituted former books.' Or just 'mixed media' art. That's pretty vague though...
Well, whatever it is, here it is!
Ingredients: vintage book parts, vintage child's writing paper, vintage sewing pattern fragment, image transfers, mica, embroidery floss, drawing pen.
So, what would you call it? Stay tuned, part 2 coming up soon...
ha! i would call it 'fantastic'!!! xoxo
