Hard as it is to imagine, there seem to be more books than people can manage in the world. Every day, thousands of books get thrown away because no one wants them any more. Often they’re oldish, the material is out of date, perhaps they’re just a bit too beaten up for anyone to want them. And there are the stray water stains where the book got dropped while reading in the bathtub.If you aren’t familiar with book art, you are in for a treat! I’ve selected an image from Su Blackwell because it has trees. You can see more of her work here. And My Modern Met has a great page with lots of images. Not all book art is small and on the scale of a single book. Furniture and assorted large sculptural creations can be made as well.
