Nicholas Jones - Book sculptor

Posted by John Lampard on Friday, 11 April, 2008 to the comment subset

Interview with Melbourne “Book sculptor” Nicholas Jones, at The Design Files. You have to see his work to believe it :)

I would describe my artistic style as book sculpture, although it has been referred to as altered book making, book surgery and other things. It has developed very organically over time. I have let the ideas come out very naturally, rather than using too much force. I make work at a reasonable pace, but I realise that if I try to work to quickly, the subtlety of the process is lost. Also, I can sometimes cut myself if I rush!

Sydneysiders will have the opportunity to see Nicholas’ work at Pablo Fanque in Paddington in July this year.

  • Thanks for the link! I cannot believe the response to that interview… Nicholas’ work has really struck a chord with such a lot of people :) Thanks for spreading the word… In addition to being a fantastic artist he’s also a lovely guy and really deserves all this exposure - Lucy

  • You’re most welcome Lucy :) Nicholas’ work is amazing and I hope to see his Sydney exhibition later this year.
