New Hampshire book sculptor Victoria Su uses discarded, found, and forgotten books to create her original artworks. A lifelong lover of books, the printed page, and the written word, Victoria finds beauty, expression, and inspiration in the deconstruction and reconstruction of abandoned books. As new technologies make the physical book less prevalent in society Victoria looks for ways to celebrate and elevate books that are no longer wanted.

Read the captions to see what favorite adult and children’s books she has transformed. Check out her artworks in the Belfast Free Library until the end of November.
