Book Stacks

(from gallery in Chipping Campden)

On our trip to England in late summer 2006 I spotted this delightful piece in a gallery window in Chipping Campden. It was early and not open yet. There was no title or artist listed - at least not on view through the window. I would love to know, to give credit to this talented artist, so if any of you out there in Blogland have a clue please tell me. As a book lover and altered book artist I was fascinated with this wonderful stack of books. The next spring I created my own - using discarded library books, which I gessoed, then painted and splattered in a variety of pastel arcylics, finishing off with painted twine and a wooden apple atop the stack.
