Artist of the Book

Every now and again creative ideas jump up, grab and shake the viewer.  Scottish artist Georgia Russell does just that for me.  She has the most creative idea I have seen lately using a scalpel and paper (books, sheet music, photos, maps, etc.) to make exquisitely delicate images that scream of originality.  "Memoire"   is a haunting image displayed in a bell jar and featured in February's American Style Magazine.    When I first saw it I fairly gasped at not only the expansive creativity, but the fine detail.  More of Russell's work may be seen at DesignDNA, designklub and at England & Co. Gallery.  I am particularly fond of her bell jar tree sculpture shown at DesignDNA.  Check it out; you will never forget it.
