RTFM! Books in my art and more.

in life •  8 years ago  (edited)

I loved books all my life, since before learning to read. Throughout my time as an artist, I used many times books as symbols of knowledge, goal, longing, home, totem, bed, lens, soil and so on. I'm still using these unique vectors on communication in my artworks, but not as frequently as I used to. But in this "PostTruth" climate(*), I still want to say it to the world  to my friends: read and learn! 

I mean: At least do pay attention to the ReadMe files of life

RTFM! ;)

(*) I know, "PostTruth" is mostly something made up by press. Anyway. ;)

Above, some of my artworks using "books"

you are such a wonderful artist! I know I've said it many times, but I'm always struck with your work. Keep it up!

well, thank you again! :)

These are fabulous. My favourite is cradle.

thank you so much, @benjojo. I did it in 2001, as far as I remember. It is a little bronze :)

My pleasure! I love the idea of the child's security and confidence gained from the attention and love of the parent and then falling asleep in the arms of knowledge and imagination. It's really touching and uplifting.
