Book Art- miniature

Description

This is the first issue of my zine Book Art.

There is a strange kind of pleasure that comes from taking an old book (in this case my Music class textbook) and transforming it's pages into something else entirely. This first volume contains scans from my own book art project, as an introduction into the genre. Materials used in the creation of this artwork include: card stock, ink, printer, staples, book, acrylic paint, shellac, artline pen, glue, comics, wire, leaf, rice paper, and many more, too many to list.

Each double page spread is comprised of two pages from the book, complimentary in colour, but each page of the zine also stands as an artwork of it’s own.

The Book Art zine is printed on quality recycled paper for durability and clartity. Images are full colour. This is the miniature version of the zine, specially crafted to fit inside a standard envelope.

Book Art is 10 cm wide and 14 cm tall (that's 4 x 5 1/2 inches for you non-metric folk). It has 16 pages of original artworks.
