georgia russell is a scottish artist who transforms found ephemera into ethereal cut-paper constructions. she sees books as "sculptural objects with an inherent history, representing ‘the hands which have held them and the minds they have passed through’. she uses a scalpel to dissect and flay the pages of her chosen books...as if they have been disturbed by a breeze or slight tremor...her intention being to give them ‘a new life and new meaning’. the resulting works hover between object and image, and she somehow manages to retain and reclaim the past life of an object as much as her techniques attack it."
