Karoline was exhibiting these delightful, vintaged altered books with delicate layers upon layers of story telling embedded within the pages. However, as a viewer you got only glimpses of the story, and were able to imagine the rest...it was a lovely exhibit.
Ulf, visiting all the way from Germany, came to visit Canada, the galleries in Toronto and to participate in the Globe Spring show. His work and concept are intriguing...as an engineer you can see his passion for structure and appreciation for urban landscape. His work is delivered with enthusiasm, passion and great skill. He is a delightful soul.
It was lovely to meet both of them and spend a weekend with them.
Check out their lovely work on their individual websites... Karoline Varin-Jarkowski and Ulf Konig

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing this beautiful art work and for the links Roxanne
Thanks for the links. I really like the feel of the book assemblages.
Yes, these altered books were so delightful for me to come across...as you know I am love all things altered...and books seem to be a bit of a passion with me these days...so when I saw Karoline's work I went a little ga-ga...it is divine work...photos really do not capture the true beauty and essence of her skill
