i just read about the artist jacques bedel in modern painters, and the image in the article is outstanding. i'm trying to find out more about his work, or at least some more images of books. the image is arresting to me because of the transparency of the book... transparency is a formal concern for me, and I have been trying to make a clear books....

and a friend sent me a link to this artist, edith collath, who makes books that breathe. it's heavily humorous, i guess, her work is a playful momento mori.
