 Carved-Book Art.This guy's work....taken from old medical books, dictionaries, etc., he removes pieces to make the book into something with 3 dimensions. This is the kind of out-of-the boundary stuff I looooove!

Re: Carved-Book Art. The artwork is very impressive, but I have to say that it makes me cringe a bit to see old books carved up.

Re: Carved-Book Art. Not to say that you're predictable, but there are as yet undiscovered tribes in Borneo who knew you were going to say that. (From a Young Ones episode.)
 Some of my FB friends had the same reaction, but consider that an old book may be termed "useless" and discarded, left to rot, have been a double, etc. and it's not so bad...is it?  _________________ Ahhh...I get to stay inside. |

I suppose not. Even public libraries have to discard books. Still... It gives me the willies to see old books carved up.  -- Nephele |

Re: Carved-Book Art. I work in an art gallery and we carry this guy: http://www.guylaramee.com/
I know what you mean about seeing old books destroyed, but I'd rather see them turned into art than recycled into toilet paper.  |

Re: Carved-Book Art. Part of me is thinking "That is horrible book abuse!"

Re: Carved-Book Art. Sometimes the books are just obsolete encyclopedias... in French.
