For some reason, I seem to be very attuned to art made from books this week. Cara Barer is a photographer who often works with old discarded books, which she soaks in water and shapes into new forms before photographing.

She says:

My photographs are primarily a documentation of a physical evolution. I have changed a common object into sculpture in a state of flux.

This one really stood out for me, it reminded me strongly of a mushroom, so it was no surprise to find that she'd also taken pictures of fungi.
