Down at Craft in the Bay, Books of the Unexpected offers a new side to the world of books, proving that movies aren’t the only way to bring books to life.<\/p>\n

The exhibition presents a variety of pieces inspired by books. It shows the artists\u2019 interpretations of the words they read into something visual, and have given them a new lease of life beyond the pages.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood stories are very sticky and stay with you long after the last page has been read,\u201d says Betty Pepper, one of the contributing artists who has a piece heavily inspired by Roald Dahl.\u00a0 \u201cI have always loved Roald Dahl and his stories are some of the stickiest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bookworm or not, \u201cBooks of the Unexpected\u201d is a library of imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
