book sculptchah...gettin it yet?

This book sculpture is by Guy Laramee
After spending some time hollowing out a book (now 'Mark's secret book of questionable items') i know how hard it is to have this medium under control because your medium is several undred indivisual pages. and i was only making a hollow box. this guy is making caves, scale replicas of ancient ruins, and natural topography. This artist probably loves to use books because of the philisophical aspect (finding meaning in books, story settings, having a novel 'take you somewhere etc.) but the different pages gives it a texture. It looks similar to mount rushmore or just looking down at the land from an airplane. This texture would have been pretty hard to reproduce in clay or plaster or granite for example because all of those things are smooth. Wood's grain wouldn't have created the same effect either. ...very cool stuff- check out his other pieces in this body of work. here's the link-
DA LINK IS RIGHT HEA

bettah late than nevah :)......see the theme hea?

Ok first assignment...hope this works
Water wigs is pretty cool. I think the point of it was using the texture of little droplets of water to mimic hair. Its not how we usually thing of water, as large vast smooth bodies. The texure has to be the point because nothing else mimics a wig. The yellow color, wicked round shape doesnt make sense. So i think a big part of art should be the texture. A landscape that is completely the same shade of blue can rely on texture to separate the sea from sky. And with paintings you can focus on the 'point' or 'feel' or mood of the work with texture and color more than accurate photorealistic depiction of objects.-making sure to have good proportions at least.
sooo yeah
keep readin'
