Trevino, who calls himself bookstagrammer, uses the books from his collection to create entertaining scenes that he then shares with more than 200K of his Instagram followers. After experimenting with self-portraits that showed him with wings made of books, he proceeded on with creating a lot more elaborate scenes which often include pop-culture motifs.

“We usually bring out the books, we put them on the floor, and we do at first a few pics without me in them to see if they fit all right and all that stuff, and then finally we take about 100 shots and we hope one of them is good. And the whole process takes about, I don’t know, two to three hours per pic.” – Trevino describes his process.

One of his favourite materials are bound stacks of old dictionaries and encyclopedias which he carves his artworks using oil paints, inks, adhesives, pigments and dry pastels, crayons, and beeswax. His recent works incorporates the traditional book organizers such as metal bookends, wood stands, and box set containers, as fundamental part of the sculptures. His work is featured in the group exhibition “Unbound” at TwoRivers Gallery in Prince George, British Columbia until March 31, 2019.

His artwork comes in different sizes and shapes, but it’s simply mesmerizing every time. The same subject is employed in all of his work: “a melancholic and at times a whimsical cast of characters inhabiting ambiguous spaces and narratives of fantasy and fairy tales.”

“I reuse books that have been discarded or that are going to be destroyed,” Stilkey explains. “There are several local libraries that I work with who donate large numbers of books to me, as they know I will give them a second life in my artwork.”
