The Book - Sarah-Charlotte Brown and Vannary Kom

Artist Statement

We chose to light up a book because Vannary and I both like to read. Reading means a lot to us,  and writing is also very important to me because I want to write novels for a living in the future. We did not want do anything harmful to the book itself, so we decided to create the book out of cardboard and use only the cover. The specific book we used (L.A Candy) did not really have any meaning to us, as it is simply representing any books/novels we read in our lives. Based on the cover design of the book, we decided that we wanted to light up some of the hearts. The white hearts had white lights, and the pink heart had a pink light.

All of the lights did light up, but some are harder to see in the picture because they are dimmer than the rest.

I love that you guys used a book. It is really unique and it expresses you both very well. I also like the dimness and brightness of the lightbulbs you guys used, assuming that was intentional. Nice job.
