This is one of my favourite pieces by Cara Barer. Cara actually describes her self as a book photographer rather than a book artist which i find really interesting.

I love Brian Dettmers unique way of displaying his book piceces, it makes me think about all the different possiblity's there are of displaying my own work.

Casey Curran mixes wire animal sculpture and old book pages to create art work that is truly unique.

Another Casey Curan piece again involving this intricate way of portraying the animal form, love how the book covers are made visible in this piece.

I want my hair this ginger please

I decided to take my influence from the Da Vinci sculptures of the Renaissance period, we will then go on to lazer cut our designs in the coming weeks.
