On the other hand, Eric de Maré’s book Wren’s London, which tells the story of the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of 1666, was turned into a paper sculpture of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
According to Taylor, she spends hours exploring antique shops, market stalls with used books, and online shops to find the right material for her sculptures. She prefers old books and usually opts for those published in the first half of the 20th century.

Taylor’s works have been exhibited at various galleries in the UK and several international art fairs. The artist also shares all of her new works on social media. Continue scrolling to check out more of them below.
