Stumbled upon a mesmorising collection of work: Book Sculptures by Jacquline Rush Lee, with some stunning pieces which I’d love to have as a centre piece in my living room.
In the artist’s own words:
“I am particularly drawn to objects that record physical processes or bear the imperfections and scars of life. Intuitively chosen, these objects suggest layered metaphors of knowledge and corporeality as an embodiment of the transitory nature of the body, thoughts, memories, or one’s life experiences.”
“…recycled books come with their own histories of use and meaning and how they serve as potent vehicles of expression”
“By scrambling the formal arrangement of the book and transposing its material and conceptual qualities, I aim to create evocative art forms that suggest an alternative narrative.”
