In this series I use pages of ancient books (the oldest 1700!) that I have found around the world or friends have given me. Old books, sometimes ruined, acquiring a new value. Made in ink, watercolour and other mediums, this unique collection of original drawings on papers are impossible to replicate meaning their market value can only increase.
