Description From my 'Self Portrait' project. I'm basically customizing old books to make an abstract Self Portrait which will take the form of a bookshelf.

Selected page from my 'Childhood' book.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
- Lewis Carroll

This always reminds me of my early English lessons in secondary school. Pretty lucky to have the poem itself in the book .

thats such an awesome concept!
i've seen a lot of people incorporate words into their pieces but i have never seen anyone use a whole book before - pretty sweet

Thank you

It's good fun using books, especially when they have things in them which link to your work. Charity shops for the win
