Some ideas are just too big for humans to truly understand the scope of. Evan Lorenzen‘s tiny art books put them into a straightforward, bite-sized perspective, all within something the size of a thumb tack! It’s light reading with heavy subject matter. The choice of ridiculously small (each project seems to get smaller) canvases to convey huge themes is ironic and entertaining. Perhaps this shows how small human accomplishments are in the grand scope of life. Or maybe complicated concepts are best understood when shown in their simplest form. Whatever the case is, I love the balance of playful and serious within these hand-sewn manuscripts.
