Enjoying these folded book sculptures by photographer Cara Barer.
With the discarded books that I have acquired, I am attempting to blur the line between objects, sculpture, and photography. This project has become a journey that continues to evolve. [...] No important books have been injured during the making of any of these photographs.
She also has a self-published book of the images if you’re interested. (via not cot)
For the ladies! Chicago-based Etsy artist bethtastic is rockin the hand-cast resin bangles. The film negative one is especially beautiful. (via hovering cat)
Ann Hamilton works in a wide variety of mediums including interactive audio and sensory works, photography, and elaborate large-scale installations. When looking through her body of art that spans more than 20 years (Google around, much if it isn’t on her site), her book sculptures really got my attention.

Nostalgia has come a long way. The Tape Lamp designed by Denis Krylov and Andrei Hakhovich out of San Francisco is a minimalist cube of plexiglass with laser cut slots containing 100 cassette tapes. The tapes are real and can be wound left or right to customize the look of the lamp. Now for sale via Etsy. (via dornob)
St. Louis artist Sarah Frost uses thousands of keys from discarded computer keyboards to create enormous textured grids.
