This is a collection of books I have acumulated over the last few months from car boot fairs and charity shops. I plan to use some of them in my work, the ones that are in bad repair. You can see a list of titles and dates here.
"Mandy Prowse studied painting and printmaking at Maidstone College of Art. She explores natural and human forms and the interconnectedness of all things. Themes in her work relate to birth, mortality and metamorphosis. Her altered books are minimalistic and organic combining a modern aesthetic with an almost Victorian touch. If you told me these books were 100 years old I wouldn’t think twice about it.”
Jason Thompson, The Rag and Bone Bindery
