Books + Artist = Cool Sculptures

What could be better than a combination of books, art, and recycling?

Dark Roasted Blend shares a gallery of images of books in art. Go see them all (there are more here), but here are a couple of my favorites:

Su Blackwell's book-cut sculptures create a world inside a book.

And Matej Kren's book cell creates a world out of books.

Thanks to Christine at She Reads Books for providing the link (and ideas for those of us who are less artistically inclined) in her post on How to purge your books.
