Curves by James Allen
$1,200.00
Curves is a book excavation created by altering a book of the same title that explores the themes of curves in visual art, design, architecture, and nature. All of the pages remain bound in their original format, but they have been cut into to reveal the content in a new way. The many layers of curves twist over and under each other creating a beautiful and dynamic composition that illustrates how pleasant and pervasive this visual form is in the world.
(This work is available unframed for $1000)
