Book Art
If you know me or read my blog, you know I don't like using books in art--defacing books, that is. However, sometimes books are just no longer readable--or they're full of mildew and bugs..or they're in the dumpster and can't be salvaged. Then, I guess I give using them in art a pass. Last weekend at the Bay Book Festival, I saw these two art works in a booth! I am so sorry that I didn't take the name of the artist. These were my favorites.
The artist's name is Jim Rosenau, his company is called This Into That. He's in Berkeley, and his website is http://www.thisintothat.com/ I love his work, it's so wonderful! The ultimate in upcycling, making useful and/or amazingly beautiful things out of books that would otherwise be recycled or go into landfill.
