Sorted books
Vetti sent me a link to Nina Katchadourian’s sorted books work. They are essentially piles or clusters of books arranged so the titles can be read to make a story, poem, or perhaps satirical comment on the nature and meaning of life. Very clever.
It made me want to grab some books and try my hand at creating something. Most of my books are still in boxes after our termite-induced furniture shuffle, but among the library books on my shelf now are “The game”, “The indigo girls”, “Skin”, “Juicy writing”, “Baby love”, “Bog child”, and “Hazel’s phantasmagoria”. I feel like there’s something there, but I’m not sure if I want to find it.

Vetti pointed me in the direction of these cute vases made from old books by Laura Cahill. In case you are wondering, the books are cut to shape on a bandsaw then wrapped around a test tube.
Amongst the comments on that page was a link to this table, made by Richard Hutten.
