feet.

byu museum of art has an interesting exhibit right now.

saw book tower.
heart sank a bit.
(i think my favorite short story 'the Celestial Omnibus' by EM Forster explains why better than i can. read it. it's good. )

but turns out this dude's temporary book sculptures leave the books intact (not sure how, as there's gotta be tons of books there) and the books are later donated to third world literacy programs (aren't we art lovers so philanthropic too. pat pat.). but really. i did like it more then.

next--is this the Bible highlighting of a theologian, or a lunatic?

so guy comes across this slightly 'touched' homeless woman, who believes that God sends her messages regularly, which she records via an intricate color code highlighted in her Bibles. she highlights entire Bibles at a time, and he photographed a series of them. but would he have wanted to photograph them if he knew it was a scholar doing the highlighting? i think it's just cool because of the code. secret codes are always interesting. i will remember that if i ever try to become an artist.
