Unwanted altered books get to new life by giving it new expression - here: Alexander Solshenizyn, The oak and the calf
The face contrasts to Solshenizyn's book content, the beholder gets into communication with the book.
This book face sculpture is composed of handcarved book pages bound into cream colored leather.
It touches soft and smooth, can be browsed through, the pages are freely moving as they are untreated.
The cutting edges are slightly colored.
The face shows different expressions depending on the lighting.

I create narrative sculptures and wall objects.
The material I work with is books.
The medium 'book' is transformed into a visual-artistic formal language with a narrative character. The transformation creates a context to the content, which can be interpreted by the viewer from their own way of seeing and thinking, and that can have a narrative effect on memories, experiences and stories. The viewer becomes a narrator.
I used to be a graphic designer for all my work life, I've designed packaging, print media, then switched to web design.
At some point I wanted to step back from designing with the computer and develop my sculpting abilities, so I signed in for a bachelor degree course in product design for artisans.
Since then, I create jewelry of altered books and papers, since 2013 I do booksculpting.
Booksculpting means shaping altered books to expressive faces using cutting and carving techniques.
