altered book


An altered book is a form of mixed media artwork that changes a book from its original form into a different form, altering its appearance and/or meaning.

I made this art book for an art exhibition in 1995. As some of you noticed, I love working with layers of several different materials, and I tried to enhance the expression of the textures with this art book.

I used glue, gesso, and matte medium to put some pages together for a thick mass.
I covered the book with fabric that i patch w...orked with different patterns.
I painted on each page with acrylic paints + medium and added decorations like embellishments, laces, and fabrics.
