Encyclopaedia Ball is my project to convert an entire set of 1950s Encyclopaedia Britannicas into a solid papier-mâché ball, starting with the 'A' section and working through all the volumes to 'Z'. Along the way, milestones are celebrated by parties and collaborations with other artists. Read more about Encyclopaedia Ball on my blog.
