Good, good friend Duncan Brown sent me a note saying he enjoyed the Rainbow of books down below, and pointing me towards these stunning images/sculptures made of books by Paul Octavious.
There are two sets within his project section. #1 - Book collection; where he has created firstly numbers and then a few random shapes and monsters out of a pile of carefully colour co-ordinated books. And the #2 Stacked; where he has made very simple shapes/piles/towers out of a collection of books (from one series), often tying them together.
The photography is very delicate and neat, and the sculptures look lovely. Perfectly stacked and arranged, but using well worn, used books and string. They look like a quick, fun pile, but must have taken ages to build. These are gorgeously simple, but amazingly effective and stunning images. They look like mini Christo's.
I've not posted all the images. Do go and see them all, as they are all wonderful.
Thanks Duncan x.
