Pretty Book Art

While looking through other blogs, I came upon this post from youngpublisherstoday about a photographer/artist Cara Barer and the amazing art she does. 

My photographs are primarily a documentation of a physical evolution. I have changed a common object into sculpture in a state of flux. The way we choose to research and find information is also in an evolution. I hope to raise questions about these changes, the ephemeral and fragile nature in which we now obtain knowledge, and the future of books.

                                         – Excerpt from Barer’s statement on her artwork.

Her work is pretty interesting, here are a few of the ones that caught my eye:

“Winston’s 2004”, 2004-2005 collection

 “Snow 2007”, 2006-2007 collection

  “Vortex 2008”, 2008-2009 collection

“Wave and Fog”, 2006-2007 collection
