The first part of this topic will be based around old books- destined for the bin, and sculpturing them into much more interesting objects! One artist who has influenced this idea is Ros Rixon. She uses many different books to make into new objects, mainly with much cut out. The following have been made by her.
I think that the Fine hand blown glass ball is very clever; it is a very simple and original idea, but works incredibly well as a stunning piece of work; especially on the black background.
I also think that 'Artists at work' piece is very clever- I really like the way that she has cut and pulled out lots of thin paper shreds from the book- I think that this is VERY imaginative. She must have spent lots of painstaking hours over it!
