i love them so much that i'll even rip them apart.
and make a tree.
i simply ripped out book pages and tossed them under the sewing machine as i was stitching them together. some thumb tacks later, and you've got a tree. i twisted and contorted some of the book pages to add some depth and dimension.
i took book pages made from trees, that were bound in a book, and repurposed them into a tree. if that's not postmodern, i don't know what is. or just irony.
