Julia Feld is an artist who gives new life to old and outdated books. Her book carvings are science-inspired and feature many items from nature and the human body.

Sure, anyone can design an artistic book jacket, but it takes a true talent to carve one. Check out Julia Feld's work in the gallery above.
