Even those who cannot read can still appreciate the excitement and thrill in the stories represented by the Jodi Harvey-Brown Book Sculptures.
Each sculpture tells a different tale, some of heroism and great feats of valor, others of danger and adventure and still others of drama and romance. The narrative pieces are constructed using pages torn right out of books, literally giving the words shape and imbuing them with visual meaning.
With details such as dragons, pirates, stormy seas, peaceful forests and more leaping right out of the pages at you, the Jodi Harvey-Brown Book Sculptures make you want to grab hold of some of the books in order to find out what happens next.
