Audio Book 2, Carved books, 21" x 26" x 6", Mike McCarthy.
"Audio Book 2 is another in my series of carved books, which comment on the ways in which technology has gradually replaced printed media in the exchange of information. Encyclopedias have become obsolete in this digital age, so rather than collecting dust, they are transformed into a work of art. The effect you get as you carve down into the layers of pages is unlike anything else. The distortion of printed words, pictures and empty pages reveal unique designs on the surface of the sculpture.ā
