Altered Book Inspiration

Last week at MA's minicourse we made altered book with a shadow box inside. I wanted to hare the work of some of the artists who inspired us last week to create these wonderous objects...

the anonymous book sculptures left in the Scottish Library...

there a many amazing artists out there working with the book as their media. From altered books to book sculptures to deconstructed works, they are all worth investigating. These are just a few of my favorites!

Giant Baby and Others

I came across this image today of Ron Mueck's larger than life baby. How have I never seen this??? Mueck was part of the Saatchi Gallery's Sensation crowd boasting some of my favorite artists, Jenny Seville, Damien Hirst and the Chapman brothers.

I love this picture... it looks impossibly real.
