Super Sized Scottish Thistle
I create this stunning piece by making over a thousand individual folds, by hand, into the wafer thin pages of a huge Encyclopedia Britannica.
Super Sized Scottish Thistle
I create this stunning piece by making over a thousand individual folds, by hand, into the wafer thin pages of a huge Encyclopedia Britannica.
With its classic, black, padded cover, complete with thistle emblem on the front, these, almost obsolete books, are true works of art in their own right. As with all of my work, I create this striking piece by handfolding each page, to an accuracy of around half a millimetre. I don't cut, laser or other wise damage the book; it is completely un-harmed.
Photos shown are of past pieces, most of which have gone to their new forever homes. I create this art by carefully hand folding the pages of reclaimed pre-owned & vintage books, therefore each item is unique and exact colours and final appearances naturally vary from book to book.
