Book Sculptures by Anita Francis
I find it an exciting challenge to explore a way to give an experienced book a new life. The process of remodelling damaged or discarded books and their jackets into sculptural art pieces has developed over the past several years, stemming from my life-long practice of painting and of crafting objects of art by hand. Through the process of folding and the cutting away of parts of a book's pages, revealing its interior, the remaining fragments are still attached to the binding.
