From One Book to Another

Until last week the word Humument wasn't in my vocabulary--that is until I happened upon Tom Philips work.

"A Humument is a treated book by British artist Tom Phillips based on a Victorian novel. It was born in 1966 when Phillips read about William Burroughs’ cut-up technique. Wanting to do something similar, Phillips decided that the first coherent book he came across “for threepence would serve.” That book was the novel A Human Document by W.H. Mallock, published in 1892. For Phillips, the novel was a treasure of unequaled and lasting value."

I found an old gardening book and can't wait to start altering it into something new.
