Savannah-based Bethany Bickley breathes life into fiction through her creative paper sculptures. Bickley uses torn pages from books and magazines to create her sculptures. Her work represents imagined visuals in fiction, as Colossal details:
Among her bookish sculptures are the iconic pear tree from Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, a seated Esther Greenwood from Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, and an amalgam of weapons and detective objects to symbolize the thriller genre. In a statement, Bickley said she merges narrative and imagery “to tell a story with impact and purpose. If there are no visuals, I create them.”
