Art I like - Beatrice Coron

Beatrice Coron calls herself a storyteller. She cuts paper: "As my story is already inside the paper, I just have to remove what's not part of that story," she says.

See her TED talk here, or visit her website (from which these images come).

Her storytelling method lends itself to public art as well -

I also like her own story: "She has been, among others, a shepherdess, truck driver, factory worker, cleaning lady and a New York City tour guide. Coron has lived in France (her native country) , Egypt and Mexico for one year each, and China for two years. She moved to New York in 1985, where she reinvented herself as an artist."

Her "spelling spider" is a great concept ("a cousin of the spelling bee, but much more connected to the web")  it spins a bilingual alphabet, and knows where to put the adjective in relation to the noun in French and in English.

Is it any surprise that she makes artists books?
