One of my impulse COVID
buys from the Ripley’s Sealife Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC. Since most of the
country was blocked off, my wife and I’s had to settle for the resort town in
the off-season - a place where I notice no one was wearing a mask and no police
were handing out tickets. Still the lack of activity left me with some extra
cash so I picked up a copy of this book and was happy with the purchase.
The book focuses on
pieces of artwork crafted from unusual substances or from unusual artists. Each
work is showcased large and accompanied by an informative caption. Scattered
throughout are in-depth features that go into more detail about particular
artists and their work. Each time I turned a page I found something weird and unique.
From coffee bean portraits, to glued ash sculptures, to whole books printed on
toilet paper. It’s all a fascinating read.
I would say more, but I
think the pictures speak for themselves.
