11 beautifully crafted sculptures, made from the pages of books, have been discovered
On a quiet day last March, the Scottish Poetry Library received an unexpected gift; a tree, fashioned from words and paper, blossoming from the yellowing book it rested upon. Throughout 2011, ten intricate sculptures appeared at creative organisations throughout Edinburgh, each with a tag addressed to their Twitter alias but with no name from the donor; it became a mystery with a modern twist.
A year on, an exhibition of all ten sculptures is being prepared and the artist remains unidentified. In the midst of it all, the Edinburgh Evening News claimed to know their identity, but a poll suggested the majority of the public didn’t want to know, and the sculptor was never revealed.
