When I first saw these extraordinary layered glass books and rocks, I thought they were CGI computer manipulated images. How wrong I was. These photos actually show expertly-crafted pieces of sculpture art, conceptualised and made by Dusseldorf-based artist, Ramon Todo.

Colombian sculpture artist Miler Lagos has created a really stunning exhibition entitled “Home”. The ‘sculptural work’ was installed at the MagnanMetz Gallery, where the structure was built to be self-supporting. I’ve always wanted to build an igloo, but here in England, snow never gets too deep in Winter! Still, if I had enough books…
