For most of us, the value of a book is in its text. But book artists like Jacqueline Rush Lee see much more than just words on a page – to them, books are a highly unusual, mostly untapped man-made medium that convey a sense of delicacy and history. In Lee’s case, reclaimed used books take on an organic feel as they’re expertly shaped into blooming flowers, abstract spheres and other eye-catching shapes.

At first glance these objects look like they are in motion, almost like every object is falling down, especially the “strawberry blanket”. In reality they are actually natural materials, like feathers, fruits and flowers, attached to nylon threads. Sculptor Claire Morgan from Belfast is the creator of this magnificent art work. She has among other things achieved a first class degree in Sculpture from Northumbria University.
