Antique ledger mixed media book, original artwork, reversible
A one-of-a-kind mixed media book created using antique French ledger end papers and 1970s tracing paper.
The piece can be viewed and worked from both sides, simply turn the book over to reveal an alternative orientation and composition. This dual-sided quality makes it a versatile object, somewhere between sketchbook, artwork, and sculptural paper piece.
The front features layered mixed media including paint, collage, and drawn elements, combining found imagery with expressive mark-making. The surfaces carry rich texture from the original materials, including aged paper, stitched elements, and translucent tracing paper pages.
Inside, layers of vintage and semi-transparent papers create shifting tones and depth as pages overlap. The natural wear, marks, and variations in the antique papers are part of the character of the piece.
A tactile, process-led work that sits between book and artwork.
