The Book Sculptures of Jacqueline Rush Lee
Hawaii-based artist Jacqueline Rush Lee works primarily with repurposed books to construct conceptual sculptures by stacking, sewing, and adhering the pages in unusual forms. At times the books are assembled into ambiguous or haphazard shapes that look anything like a book, while in other pieces the pages become tightly organized into identifiable objects like the petals of a flower or the design of a bowl. Lee was recently an artist-in-residence at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where she completed work on a new site-specific work titled Whorl. Her work is also on view as part of Metamorphosis: The Art of Altered Books at the Fuller Craft Museum, and was included in the book Art Made from Books (via Lustik)
