Art 108: Book Project

My BooK ArT

Project Transformation: Turn a book into a piece of art, or merely transform it's meaning into something else.



The cover of my book! I decided to transform a Alice in Wonderland book.




I had grown up with this story when I was younger. It was, and still is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Recently, I learned a bit more about the author, Lewis Carroll. Which forever changed my view of the story itself. 




For the project, I decided to "remove" or hide Alice's identity in the story. Though it's still obvious who her character is, the real question is who she is as a person. 



Eventually, I arrive to my point in the book. Bringing to life the dark past of Lewis Carroll, and his inspiration for the story.

On the last page, is a picture of the real Alice. She was 11 years old.
