Contemporary art created by Alexis Arnold consists in turn usual objects into sculptures by turning them into crystallized sculptures.

The Crystallized Book Series addresses the materiality of the book versus the text or content of the book, in addition to commenting on the vulnerability of the printed book. The crystals remove the text and transform the books into aesthetic, non-functional objects, but art pieces that makes us think about how immortal are books.The books, frozen with crystal growth, have become artifacts or geologic specimens imbued with the history of time, use, and nostalgia. The series was prompted by repeatedly finding boxes of discarded books.
