Here are images of the work of just a few of the many young artists at Priestlands who have really taken to altered books as an art form.. These youngsters are just 13 years old.. I'm so PROUD of their efforts.. please take the time to enjoy their original creations.
Influenced by my own sculptural forms from books, Troy created his amazing 'Snowboarder'. A typical mercenary lad, he insists I write that he's willing to sell his work! [Please email me if you'd like to make him an offer ~;)]
Troy's Snowboarder
Katie's Through the Wardrobe
Katie has created this incredible Altered Book themed on CS Lewis's 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. The front is the bedroom and the wardrobe.. it opens to show the coats hanging.. The reverse is the magical land of Narnia, complete with the Snow Queen and Mr Tummnus and the trees leading back through the wardrobe! How absolutely amazing is that??
More pics to come.. Look out for Shakespeare's Plays and a View of China!!
