The Digital Reader

This artist thoughtfully destroys books to create a piece. The way she happened upon this style is rather interesting:

I realized I owned many books that were no longer of use to me, or for that matter, anyone else. Would I ever need “Windows 95?” After soaking it in the bathtub for a few hours, it had a new shape and purpose. Half Price Books became a regular haunt, and an abandoned house gave me a set of outdated reference books, complete with mold and neglect. Each book tells me how to begin according to its size, type of paper, and sometimes contents.

There are a couple more pieces after the break, and as always, you can find more artist who work with books in the Books As Art page here on TDR.
