Paper Sculpture Cara Barer

Cara Barer•Houston Based Photographer

•Sculptures are made from discarded phone books, computer manuals, maps and the like that she transforms and then photographs.

•Her inspiration came when she encountered a discarded rain soaked phone book.

•“I realized I owned many books that were no longer of use to me, or for that matter, anyone else. Would I ever need “Windows 95?” After soaking it in the bathtub for a few hours, it had a new shape and purpose. Half Price Books became a regular haunt, and an abandoned house gave me a set of outdated reference books, complete with mold and neglect. Each book tells me how to begin according to its size, type of paper, and sometimes contents.” — Cara Barer
