Such beautiful work I find it petty to be conflicted, but...

I do take some issue with the carving up of the books. It just seems too much like an opportunistic use of an interesting media - resulting in the destruction of the original.

I wonder if certain passages are left readable, if the work in question dictates the design.

It just sounds sad to have a literary work sacrificed at random, even if the result is a beautiful sculpture.

Now I can't decide if I really have a foot to stand on!

Thanks so much for those last few supportive comments! I like the 'first edition of the bible' bit :) hee hee.

It's great to see this work is still reaching so many new people. Thanks so much for taking a moment to say hi and give your opinions :)

I’m new here on Stumble and I think the book sculpture is just that, ‘ART’. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’am an artist myself. He ,Nicholas, the artist, is very original with his work. I’m sure the publishers of those books made more than one copy. I love the work. Thanks.

Michael.

Dear god people he isnt using a first edition of the bible. Its a raw material and Im sure you can go to many garage sales and libraries and bookstores across america and find those very titles he is using. Even in the face of art and talent people will still find a reason to hate….relax everyone…breathe in

Hey Glenn, thanks so much for your kind words about my blog and this interview! It was such a great experience meeting Nick and visiting his studio… I feel very lucky that this site has put me in contact with such lovely, talented people :) I wish I had the chance to personally meet more of my interviewees…

Thanks too for stepping in to give your own personal take on Nick’s work and his passion for books! I’m sure if people had a chance to meet and talk to Nick they’d realise his work is far from ‘destructive’.

Blah. Anyway, thanks so much for your comment :) I appreciate it!
