Sydney BAG (Book Art Group) installed a piece at Sydney Writer's Festival this weekend.
See all the pix at our Facebook Group.
The piece includes 748 individual pages from abandoned books, and took more than 93 hours to ASSEMBLE (that excludes the time it took us to create each individual art work on the pages).
