I have done a number of pieces in the past for the Blarney Books show which involves interaction with books. I happened to get a small group from an op shop with the idea of using them in one sculpture but as I had them there I saw a number of other ideas forming. This is my original idea( probably seen on Pinterest or some such place). I have glued the books to the base and the girl to the books… I do find it hard to permanently damage books.. even ones as old and unread as these.
