Via Swiss Miss (again; she’s one of my main online sources of design inspiration) comes this incredible work, made by systematically cutting up old books. It just goes to show that you can make arresting artworks out of all sorts of materials, including those you’d find at car boot sales or charity shops. Find more images at the Aron Packer Gallery, the Haydee Rovirosa Gallery, and this blog post at Centripetal Notion, where debate rages about whether books should be treated this way. Personally I don’t know, but I enjoyed the comment: Amazing work. But why, oh why, use the beloved Second Edition of Webster’s? Why not the exceedingly crappy Third? I’d cut it up any time.
