The Artist

Banoo Batliboi

Banoo Batliboi is a self-taught paper artist who is impassioned about creating 'book art'. She works with old, abandoned books which have served for many years in their conventional form as a vehicle for narrative ideas. Now, by shifting focus to the tactile and visual qualities of the book, she imagines an alternative interpretation.

"Old books are my raw material. I like working with common objects and making them behave in unexpected ways. For me the motivation is to 'find the formula' — the complex form of the sculpture is a result of folding only. There is no cutting or sticking involved." — Banoo Batliboi
