Rapunzel by Samantha Press

“3-dimensional book sculpture of Rapunzel in her window, braid hanging from the edge. Crafted from a new (not rare) copy of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” this piece measures approx 11.25” wide, 7.75” tall not including the braid, which adds an additional 9.5”

Mark Manders’s sculptures can be read as poems that have been freed from the language and evoke a mysterious world of ghostly afterimages and waking dreams.

“Altered book with original 1888 cover. Mixed-media on corrugated cardboard with etched mirror and zinc, sewing machine parts, glass jars, and other found objects. Lyrical snippets of text “liberated” from the sermonizing tales of the original book.”

Simryn Gill used books as a raw material, choosing words such as ‘because’, ‘vessel’, ‘always’, ‘jealous’, and ‘lull’, and removing them from the books to investigate if, and how, words lose or take on meaning when taken away from their intended structures and contexts.
