To Alter a Book

My first studio project of this semester: to create an altered or an artist's book. The Unknown Quantity by Henry Van Dyke, a cloth bound edition from somewhere around 1919, is my victim. As I am still in the beginning stages, I have only cut out the thick of the book creating a cavity within the pages. If I keep chugging along, I'll be able to make the deadline, and post new pictures of the completed piece! To be continued...
