Cut Book Sculptures in Bell Jars from Georgia Russell

Artist Georgia Russell slices and shreds books to create these otherworldly sculptures, and placing them in bell jars make them seem like some the preserved specimens of some alien fauna. 

From her bio:

"The atmosphere of the original material she uses is extremely important to her, and her use of either new, or of older papers or images redolent of past lives, is dependent on the mood or idea that she wants to communicate."
