Some time ago I made this clay sculpture, I started it because I wanted to express how I see the concept of book and how i feel about it.
I wanted to show that for me a book is really not a square of printed paper, a book is something flexible, malleable, expressive, dynamic, like a fabric, as you read it is shaped by the person you are.
I left the cover hard and square as in my eyes it's the steady gate into the world of imagination that is held within.
I carved in the clay words and sentence from my favorite books
and I played with it's form until I felt it got to where the work expresses the feelings that I tried to explain in words...
