copco cast iron oval baking dish by michael lax

silly me - somehow i managed to lose this auction.

'the book objects (...) are each made from pages of existing books removed from their bindings and rebound as one. some of these series loosely relate to each other via a third element: geometrical shapes abstracted from the images, computer-edited, and overprinted on the originals. the disparate image stocks become intertwined and open on one another. having transcended any thematic organization, the loose pages now have the potential to amalgamate into an infinite number of new books. in so doing, they yield a library that defies conventional categorization.'

i like this very much.
