Robert The: Bookguns

I haven’t got much to say about Robert The’s work, except that I think it is really cool. I have also already posted one book carving artist this week, so figured why not another? Robert’s work is smart, playful, and exhibits a rare wit with word play.

“Obsession with the semiotic erosion of meaning and reality led me to create objects that evangelize their own relevance by a direct fusion of word and form. Books (many culled from dumpsters and thrift store bins) are lovingly vandalized back to life so they can assert themselves against the culture which turned them into debris.” – Robert The 1995

A few more Bookgun examples after the jump.
