Once upon a time in Edinburgh there was a mysterious artist
who loves literature. This artist created pieces of art by carving from paper and
constructing amazing sculptures with the leaves of books. This anonymous artist
left different pieces of his/her work in various museums and libraries around Edinburgh.
The artist always left a tag with a message defending literature:
“We know that
a library is so much more than a building full of books… a book is so much more
than pages full of words.… This is for you in support of libraries, books,
words, ideas…”
I believe that many artists do not want to be famous but art
is a strange term that needs to be exposed and seen by others, what is art
without recognition? Of course there are many real artists who will live and
die without being known by anyone, and of course it is still art. But in my opinion
art must be shared and expose, then people like me can enjoy and admire their skills
and creations.
This particular mysterious artist living in Scotland has demonstrated
that you could attract audience and have a full city expecting your new
creation without the need of showing up.
