I found this absolutely brilliant both in conception and in execution. Katchadourian has a gimlet eye and a wicked sense of humor, and she's making some incredible found art from books. I love the way she works within a library's collection, and I love the way she thinks. I was alternately cracking up and gasping as I made my way from page to page. I can see that this sort of thing won't appeal to everyone, but boy howdy did it ever appeal to me. I want to go see what kind of clusters can be made from my own shelves now, of course.
