Not once have I had an art project progress that way that this one has. I knew right away
that I wanted to some kind of paper objects, made from pages of books, but deciding what was rather difficult. First, I made a castle, then a windmill, then a lighthouse, then finally my ships. Each object has something in common though, they are each a fantasy that the pages of a popular fiction book often depict.
For this project I wanted to take that fantasy and make it tangible, viewable, and put it in reference to the books that contain it. Instead of reading about the journey of these ships, your watching them, cannons raised high, deciding in your mind who is captain, whose going to win the battle, or even if there is going to be a battle at all. I've made the fantasy more accessible to the consumer.
