There are an array of artists creating interesting and beautiful artwork from recycled books. One of my absolute favorites, Brian Dettmer, uses surgical tools to carve into books, sculpting them into the most fabulous creations.
Su Blackwell creates intricate scenes from books, reminiscent of a pop-up book, the stories from the book emerge and come to life!
They are often displayed in a shadowbox format, with strategic lighting to enhance the mood.
The details are amazing!
