Manu-fractured

I just bought a beautiful book called Manufractured. It is full of amazing images of art that makes me want to just die. Gorgeous pieces made from everyday objects. Sculptures of combs stitched together, carefully cut-out plastic bottle skeletons and dresses construction from bobbins of thread.

The major chapter headings contain these key words:

    Dissection
    Fabrication
    Accretion
    Fusion
    Provocation
    Subversion
    Infection
    Variation
    Manipulation
    Ornamentation
    Perception

Each chapter then highlights a different artist.



I'm having a hard time not drooling all over each and every page.
