If you find yourself hoarding old books, this artist may be able to show you how to turn them into unique artwork.
Artist Guy Laramee creates stunning miniature bookscapes from old books, dictionaries and encyclopedias. His series, entitled The Great Wall and Biblios, represent the degradation of human culture, showing glacial landscapes, deep valleys and plateaus.
“So I carve landscapes out of books and paint romantic landscapes,” the artist says on his website. “A disused mountain of knowledge reverts to what it really is: a mountain. A little more erosion and it becomes a hill. Then it flattens out and becomes a field where nothing is obviously happening. Obsolete. The mountain of encyclopedias goes back to what needs nothing to say: Fog and clouds obliterate everything we know, everything we think we are.”
