Art as Alchemy

Art as Alchemy.jpg

The picture you see here is a book that's been transformed into a pen-holder/folded book art.

This project was inspired by a group of artists who had transformed guns and disarmed nuclear weapons into jewelry.

I considered this particular book to be a psychological weapon. So I didn't want to give it away because that would harm so many. I didn't want to bury nor burn it because that felt like such a waste.

So I looked up "folded book art" online. And wow! There were some gorgeous ones! And I noticed there were even instructions for one particular kind of design.

So I followed the instructions with my own modifications and came up with this design. Then I realized I could put my pens in it. So I did that. I also had to clear out space because there was no place to put it. So now this space itself has transformed into an altar of sorts...

And now, there's even a powerful feedback loop because every time I look at this space, I feel expanded and inspired to create even more, thus expanding my potential even more!

Enjoy!

As always, upvotes, comments and resteems always appreciated.
