"Sweet Station" is my favorite blog, which features experts, artists and topics in the areas of paintings, illustrating, advertising, photography, product design, architecture, installation design and the graphic arts.
Today while browsing, I saw a post about Jacqueline Lee Rush, an artist and book sculptor, who creates her own interesting type of narrative out of old novels and reference books.
"For almost a decade I have found myself drawn to the intimate, tactile, and symbolic qualities of used books. I am interested in how these recycled books come with their own histories of use and meaning and how they serve as potent vehicles of expression. With the idea of working with them as my canvas or building block, I transform the books into sculptures that explore and redefine the book as familiar object, medium, and archetypal form. 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. ” - Jacqueline Lee Rush
