Oklahoma-based artist Kelly Campbell Berry takes the metaphor, or fantasy, of characters leaping out of the pages of books, and turns it into reality.
In her book sculptures series, characters from classic children’s books, such as Charlotte’s Web, Black Beauty, The Wizard of Oz and Moby Dick, are literally featured ‘coming alive’ from the pages of the books.
“I still have a connection to Stuart Little and the Borrowers,” Berry says. “Books, for me, come alive… My book sculptures are my way of showing what the words on the pages create in the imagination of the readers.”
