Two new book sculptures

 It's been quite a while since I last posted, have sadly been busy, but here are a couple of new book sculptures I have been working on.
'Perhaps I shall find out somebody's secret!' and 'Love's bright dream' both feature illustrations from a late Victorian family compendium that I picked up for next to nothing from a junk shop.
 Each blade of grass is individually cut by hand with a scalpel and glued into place a row at a time.

 In this sculpture the pages are cut along the text, the twisted and buckled to give the appearance of waves.
Many more sculptures on the website...
