The Seattle, Washington-based artist upcycles old hardcovers for her //Altered Books// series, which combines illustration and sculpture to create enchanted hollows inside of discarded titles. With a blade, Ouzman cuts away layers of pages, converting them into passageways into mysterious worlds. She is drawn to organic shapes and often decorates her //Altered Books// with opulent flora. The books become magical forests that evoke the ways reading fiction allows one to dive into an alternate universe. » Source: VOYNOVSKAYA, Nastia. 27 mars 2015. « Isobelle Ouzman’s //Altered Books// Series Turns Literature Into Sculpture ».
