Larry’s “BiblioQuilts” are created from damaged or distressed books that were salvaged from basements, attics, and public libraries throughout New England. He repurposes every part of every book—the covers, the pages, the spines—breathing new life into those materials with the addition of dyes, inks, and acrylics. Quilts made from repurposed cloth are nothing new. But the combination of mixed media and repurposed books yields a totally new look. Each piece is comprised of hundreds-to-thousands of ‘tiles’ that were harvested from hardcover books that no one has read or paid attention to in decades. Most were on their way to the landfill.
