» Cascading Books

As if books were not gorgeous enough on their own, we stand in absolute awe when they inspire a visual artist. Using books as her muse, the Spanish artist, Alicia Martin uses images and installations of cascading books to make us rethink disaster. Who stops and stares in appreciation when all of their books fall off the shelf? It’s a nuisance, not an moment of beauty. Alicia Martin makes us question this…is it so bad to let it all fall, to allow things to crumble, to release control, and then dare to leave it be?
