Hello Hello SuperForesters
Following Carla’s excellent ban the phone book post, I was doing a little digging to see if there’s a similar opt-in scheme here in the UK (unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be one …yet!) but I came across Philadelphia based artist Alex Queral, who has been creating 3D portraits from discarded phonebooks for the last 14 years!
He says:
“I was out looking for wood to make a sculpture one day and I noticed a huge pile of them on the pavement. I suddenly thought they would probably make a pretty good material for carving, so I gave it a go.”
Fun, eh? And a little more creative than the traditional phonebook repurposing as doorstop or wonky table prop!
Thursday Love!
