Lessing gazing up at you Sculpture

Wall hanging face sculpture No. 36, carved out of book pages Book: The works of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing The half face is sculpted after a portrait painting of G.E. Lessing What is booksculpting? Unwanted altered books get to new life by giving new expression to it. Altered books already have a story - I give them a face. Transforming books to faces is something that I discovered during an experimental phase in my studio. Before I start the cutting and shaping, I make a new book spine of the width I need for the planned face. The special book glue I use keeps all pages safely in place, which I could not be sure of when using the old spine. This book face sculpture is composed of handcarved and shaped book pages, bound into a cover of fine black goat leather. The cutting edges are slightly painted to highlight the eyes area. The face shows different expressions while the beholder passes due to the fanned pages. The lighting of this object is very important, it should hang in a place with daylight, or spotlight. Size app. 17 x 20 x 8 cm There is a durable metal hanger implemented to the book spine.
