Pages

As you know I have been visiting lots of student exhibitions and have been both disappointed and blown away by some of the work I've seen.

I'll also include the beginnings of a book cover I am making. Seeing as my starting point is ultimately a book, we all have to make fabric covers for them. I started off with an idea and now I'm stuck.
