"The Library at Wadi Ben Dagh uses the book as an artistic medium to produce an insightful response in the visitor. Visually translating such popular titles as Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Joyce’s Ulysses, and Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil, Van Nice allows the visitor to see the books and the ideas they contain in a new light..."
And in other book art browsing, I spotted this: 'Ice Bound: Antarctic Bookworks'. Book artist Rachel Hazell has produced tissue bergs and ice shelves inspired by her recent visit to Antarctica as artist-in-residence on an expedition ship which travelled 5,000 miles from South America around the Antarctic. Brrrr!!! It's weird though - lately I'm hearing a lot about trips to Antarctica... and I'm starting to think it's something I'd like to do one day, money permitting. Which is barmy - I hate the cold! I'm always cold and always wingeing about being cold! I'm even scared of walking on ice since I slipped over years ago and knackered my coccyx... I wouldn't last five minutes in Antarctica. How contrary.
