Haunted by paper....

[amberdreams]

Edinburgh is being haunted - by a mysterious artist who is making amazing paper sculptures dedicated to reading and libraries and leaving them in public places.  I suppose it is a bit ironic and wrong to love something that is created by destroying books but these are awesome!!!
Check out the article about it here, and this is one example of the creations.

That is really incredible. I guess it's wrong to think this, but I think it's sort of okay since there are a lot of copies of a book, but art is unique. Unless, I suppose, said artist tries to make art out of the Gutenberg Bible or something. Then I might think it was crap no matter how pretty it was.

I thought it was really funny that while I am thinking "Wow! this is amazing and wonderful!" There is this little voice at the back of my head saying "but..but...they've chopped up that lovely book!"
