These altered book drawings by will ashford are incredible. I love the idea of using old books to create new art. There is a legacy and lineage being played with here. A trust that poetry can emerge from unexpected places. This art also proves in a beautiful way, that everything is open to the viewers interpretation, even something as "permanent" as the printed page. Oh my goodness, am I ever in love with this stunning and surprising work! Sigh.




Amazing! How can one acquire his work?
