Just as books hold knowledge, ancient mountains have their own stories to tell.
For over two decades, interdisciplinary artistGuy Larameehas been exploring this concept with his ongoingBookwork.
“Livros 2,” 2025.
He breathes new life into old, discarded volumes, transforming their pages into dreamlike, geological sculptures.
The final pieces are strikingly lifelike and tangible, transporting viewers to distant, otherworldly mountainscapes.
At first glance, its hard to believe that each miniature peak or cliff was once a book.

Each piece juxtaposes themes of knowledge and history with geology, time, and the environment.
