Every book tells a story. Every book touched by Jennifer Khoshbin, however, tells a multitude of stories. The 40-year-old artist carves into them, taking a musty old book and turning it into a dynamic new piece of art.
"I’m tunneling into vintage hardbound texts," the San Antonio resident states, "to explore the dubious future of the book itself." Khoshbin is trying to imagine what it might be like for books to undergo a kind of adaptation for survival. Using books as sculpture, she's taking the paper — thin, one-dimensional — and finding depth and conceptions of astounding delicacy.
