Original artwork description:
When I look at Nature, whether the micro or the macro, I arrive at the belief that circles must be Nature's favorite shape; we live on a circle, and circles are in everything.
Circles create calmness and harmony against the rough edges of daily life.
This book sculpture is carved from a 1969 volume of the World Scope Encyclopedia.
Actual dimensions are:
23.7 cm -- height
17.4 cm -- width
2.7 cm -- depth
All pages and paper surfaces are carefully sealed together with a UV resistant sealer. The book is glued in the shut position and is no longer intended to be opened.
For ease of hanging on the wall, I have permanently attached a metal sawtooth hanger on the back of the book. Simply hang it on a screw or nail. Or, stand it up on a bookshelf.
One important thing about this listing: this is listed as being "signed on the back" but it is actually signed on the bottom of the book as you can see in the photo.
Free USPS Priority Mail shipping within the United States!
Materials used:
hardback vintage encyclopedia, various adhesives, art knives
