Books are humanity's greatest asset, but since some books do not deserve to be re-read and stored forever, artists and designers find new uses for them, forcing them to serve in the name and sake of art. So, we have repeatedly written about paper sculptures and installations from books. The artist is also engaged in the same creativity. Rachael Ashe from Vancouver. Rachael Ashe is a self-taught artist who has already reached certain heights and incredible skill in the laborious and painstaking process of turning books into works of art. They cannot always be called sculptures, so the craftswoman calls her works volumetric paintings. Using the techniques of decoupage, collage, applique and carving, Rachel decorates volumes, this way and that using motives of nature and animals, since this is her second passion, and the picturesque surroundings of Vancouver serve as inspiration and a source of new ideas for her every day.
However, in addition to natural motives, the artist also makes book sculptures in the form of abstract geometric shapes, or creates installations, combining with mixed media such household items as clothespins, paper clips, buttons … they are unlikely to be indifferent, they are so original and mysterious, like puzzles that you want to solve.
Rachel Ashe often gives master classes and participates in a variety of workshops, where she shares her experience with people who are passionate about handmade, teaching them to create incredible sculptural works for the soul, interest and interior decoration from books and reference books. The artist's work can be found on her website.
