Altered Books
Altering pages and books is my latest passion. I ignore the shrieks of horror as I rip pages from old tomes, mash them into pulp for papier mache, and cut shadow boxes into glued manuals. Before you contact the book police, I only use old books which I source from junk shops, charity shops and car boot sales. These books are often falling apart anyway, and I am giving them a new lease of life as an artwork.
My journey into the world of altered books has only recently begun. I have featured some of my resulting creations on this page. Also linked to this page are sub-pages featuing some fantastic examples of altered book artists and altered art makers sourced from the internet.
Some examples of my first attempts to alter books.
