BOOK IT

Books are an aging and (some think) soon to be obsolete technology. So why do I destroy them, cut them up and seal them shut for eternity? My love of books has driven me to repurpose them - to find a new chapter for them as aesthetic, otherly objects; reconfigured yet still embedded with content.
