In a world where the digital age is gradually replacing the written word, and electronic devices are replacing paper books, the British Emma Taylor creates sculptures from old books. She gives them a second life and a new story through her art.
Each book sculpture is a unique work, reproducing various images and plots. They can represent architectural objects, fantastic creatures, landscapes and even literary scenes.

Usually, each scene is inspired by the content of the book: trees — in publications about botany, houses — in stories about the architectural features of different countries. These are not just works of art, but also creative responses to literary themes and plots that Emma finds in old books.
On her website, the author says that she has been engaged in book sculptures for many years, presenting her works at exhibitions in Cambridge, London and Hong Kong. Her book sculpture is not only an artistic outlet, but also a way to emphasize the importance of books in life.

Such sculptures not only impress with their detail, but also provide a new way of existence. They help remind us of the importance of the physical book as an object with its own weight and texture. In addition, they allow you to immerse yourself in the history and fantasy that hides the contents of any publication.
Emma Taylor's book sculptures become a unique combination of literature and art. They remind us that every book has its own story and meaning that can be discovered and expressed through art.
