Ex libris: soliloquy on life and death


Ex libris: soliloquy on life and death by Alan Owen

I seem to think I've seen this one like in a dream or a past life.

Fascinating!  It's a giant block of wood, and it looks like a computer. It's got a keyboard painted onto it, and it's title, and the "monitor" is a giant block of resin.  And it's painted like an apple monitor, and then embedded in the resin are the pages of a book.  Old decayed pages, and the decay looks like compost, all embedded in the resin.  The resin is smooth and cold, and i want to lick it. It must weigh a couple of kilograms. I love it.
