Junk, originally uploaded by Feltbug. Work in progress, starting with the format of a book, taking the pages apart to make a grid. The beginning of an exploration for some new work.
"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.”

Interesting to see how this develops. What are the colours in the middle of the text?
They are images from a Habitat catalogue - you can see them more clearly on my flickr page.
