My ready-made was supposed to symbolize the sort of fantasy world books create for humans. I did some carving into the actual pages which was a lot harder than I expected. It was fun sort of playing around with depth and shapes. I sort of wish I had picked a larger book to have more space to create a larger plane for my “little world”. I played around with some little toy pieces I had to add to the “other worldly” feel. The tree I created was also used to symbolize the growth that comes with reading. The way that the tree pops from the pages also relates to the way that sometimes when reading we can conjure these images in our mind that almost come to life and transport us to a new place.
