CREATIVE
Altered Books
As well as a performer and photographer Shawna is an artist with many mixed mediums including the creation of Altered books. Altered book making varies by artist, but it is basically taking a old book and sculpting it, repurposing it, into a piece of art. Shawna uses books that have been discarded or are out of date as to respect the creation of the writers.
