Deux from Dooce

Two of my favorite links from one of my favorite A-list bloggers:

Book Autopsies
Explanation of Book Dissections (artist statement quoted from the Toomy Tourell Gallery) -
"In this work I begin with an existing book and seal its edges, creating an enclosed vessel full of unearthed potential. I cut into the cover of the book and dissect through it from the front. I work with knives, tweezers and other surgical tools to carve one page at a time, exposing each page while cutting around ideas and images of interest. Nothing inside the books is relocated or implanted, only removed. Images and ideas are revealed to expose a book’s hidden, fragmented memory. The completed pieces expose new relationships of a book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception."

Faces in Places
"A photographic collection of faces found in everyday places."
