Elizabeth Cox Art Work

This blog is a record of my final university projects. It will act as an online scrap book/sketch book of my ideas, and an illustrated evaluation of the finished piece.

  • My first attempt at turning a book into an art piece, to show it has not been used or read for a while. For this book I brushed the pages with buttermilk, and then spread over a ground up mixture of moss and buttermilk, and placed it outside. The moss began to grow on the pages, and the pages began to change and decay. (The pic is taken after 4 days, after several weeks the moss died when a storm battered the book! the book is still outside and changing and decaying with things growing around and over it)
