Portraits from telephone directories

Alex Queral’s Carved Phone Book Art

Alex Queral does these wonderful heads, carved out of phone books (then painted with acrylics). In his Artist’s Statement, he says: In carving and painting a head from a phone directory, I’m celebrating the individual lost in the anonymous list of thousands of names that describe the size of the community. In addition, I like the idea of creating something that is normally discarded every year into an object of longevity.
