#44 - Wooden Book #3 (All Around You, 2024) by Mitsuru Koga
Mitsuru Koga recreates paper books and pads using plywood he manufactured and bent to shape himself. Like many of his other works, he takes inspiration from the mundane, unassuming objects and materials he interacts with daily. These books are his reinterpretation and recreation using related but dissimilar materials.
