Jodi Porter Book Sculptures
Colora, MD
What we see in our imaginations as we read should be there for the world to see. My book sculptures are my way of making stories come to life.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been making art. When I was eight, my Grandfather fame me a set of artists’ pencils. That was the beginning of my obsession with art. I haven’t stopped since.
I grew up in a small town in South Eastern PA. After High School, I studied art at Seton Hill University. It was there that I discovered a love for 3D media.
I have always enjoyed reading. Books pull you into a new world. Art lets you see that world. It made sense to me that these two mediums should come together. The books that we love to read should be made to come to life. Characters, that we care so much for, should come out of the pages to show us their stories. What we see in our imaginations as we read should be there for the world to see. My book sculptures are my way of making stories come to life.
