We recently had the great pleasure of discovering the art of Terry Border, a ‘Humorist, Photographer and Earthling’ from Indiana in the US.
Among Border’s recent work is a highly inventive series of artworks, around the concept of books embodying books.
The images give a simple yet creative and revealing insight into the book conveyed. You can enjoy some of the collection below:
1984 by George Orwell
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift
Stan Lee presents: The Fantastic Four
The Odyssey by Homer
On Dreams by Sigmund Freud
The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare
Dracula by Bram Stoker

I love these so much! They’re such a clever idea, the way each book is interpreted is fantastic. My favourite is Homer’s The Odyssey with Freud a close second.
Amazing how some wire and a few little props are so effective, brilliantly done!
