San Francisco-based artist Alexis Arnold creates sculptures and mixed media art that focus on time, transformation, and perception.
One of Arnold’s most stunning projects is called Crystallized Books. Old copies of books, famous novels among then, are frozen with heavy crystal growth.

💬 The crystals remove the text and solidify the books into aesthetic, non-functional objects.
