UK based artist and writer Yvette Hawkins takes book arts to the next level by using each modified book as an element in a large scale installation. For the installation “No Land in Particular” (see images above) the artist laid a cluster of books on the floor, resembling an organic land mass, which upon meeting the walls climbed up and out tracing a snail-like path.
For the installation shown below, “Their Silence, A Language,” Hawkins used 1200 modified books to form a hanging chandelier-type form in the middle of a large room where viewers could wander interacting with the space and structure. This piece “compels viewers to interact with the space, transporting them into a world of past lives, secrecy and lost stories; an exploration of the hidden spaces of language,” says the artist.
