Of course, book sculpture, book arts, artist books or altered books have been around for a considerable time. I am inspired by many artists and having just been asked by a good friend to recommend some creative book viewing pleasure, I thought it would be good to share to a broader audience… so here are some of those artists that particularly delight me in this field sometimes with their concept, sometimes their amazing skill and craft and of course many with all those ingredients rolled into one!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do…
The outrageously talented Brian Dettmer
The delightful, playful work of Su Blackwell
Jaw dropping Guy Laramee
The colourful feminine work of Jacqueline Rush Lee
The precision of Georgia Russell
Patience and concept of Jill Sylvia
Intriguing Norike Ambe
Exquisite work of Maria Fischer
Intricate Meg Hitchcock
