Nicholas Jones born 1974 in UK,  is an international book sculptor based in Melbourne Australia. He completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts in 1997, Master of Fine Art at RMIT University in 2001 and a Graduate Diploma of Education at The University of Melbourne in 2003.

Nicholas Jones aims at highlight- ing the poetic nature of the book as a form. From his tiny Melbourne studio, he stacks, folds, tears, cuts and sews book leaves, transforming books into works of art, small sculptures that question the way books are read. Like a surgeon examin- ing and reorganizing body tissue, armed with a scalpel, Jones readdresses the book’s tissue – paper – dissecting unwanted books, casting a new light on books as an everyday commodity.

Demisch Danant worked with Maarten Baas to create a site-specific installation for a client who wanted a sculptural but entirely functional piece for their home’s foyer. Maarten used his signature color impregnated clay design as the basis for what he has described as “a viral-like system” of shelving, coat hangers, vitrines and small display areas that together fill the entire space. The result is witty and energetic. And the clients’ kids love it.
