Icelandic artist Ragnhildur Jóhanns that is based in Reykyavik. This young visual and performance artist works books and poetry into most of her work. From text collages to sculptural pieces and performance works that include readings, Jóhanns takes the already beautiful books and makes interesting and beautiful artworks by painstakingly cutting strips of text and extending them past the book pages, or conversely, creating gaps and indents in the pages with the cutouts. The names of two of these series of works are Sculptural Poems and Visual Poetry.

AND if these artworks aren’t quirky enough for you, she’s also one of the Weird Girls from The Weird Girls Project!
