Light Reading Melbourne

How great is this!? The collection is called Light Reading Melbourne  (naturally), the bricks are stenciled on each side, with titles and pages giving the appearance of an antique leather-bound book. The bricks are the work of Daryl Fitzgerald, he says - ”It whimsically invokes nostalgia for a time when libraries were cavernous worlds full of yellowing paper, silence and time. A book’s weight and size often had a direct relationship with its gravitas – and those we cherished are eternally embedded in our memory.” And I get to say… everything that is old is new again. Shake it.
