Tom Phillips

One artists who uses books to create art is Tom Phillips. This is an example of his work. 

Tom Phillips was born in London in 1937 and is probably most famous for his 370 paged artwork called 'The Humument'. He first saw a book called the human document. He joined the words together to create a Humument. Using different creative techniques, he covered  the pages, only leaving a couple of words behind, which made sense as a whole.


We did a piece of homework inspired by his style. It was harder than I originally thought to  get the words to make sense and even my finished piece didn't make complete sense. As Mr peacock took in our work and hasn't handed it back yet, I am not able to upload a photo.
