{This post marks the springboard for a series I hope to articulate weekly concerning, quite simply, what inspires me. Because, let's face it, no ideas arise in a vacuum.}
How lovely, when the art of published pages is transformed through a new medium: that of visual aesthetics. This collaborative project between Mia Cabana, a children's librarian (one of my career musings) and, obviously, an artist and her photog-taking boyfriend Oliver Scott Snure, reminds me that love breeds creativity. We look to literature to escape to microcosmic worlds, fascinating fictions reflective of the reality around us, and here, that seems to me literally depicted as diminutive figures interact with the books upon which they perch. That last one is my favorite: a delicate, female silhouette jumping to life from the page, casting shadows and reflections around her.
