“Pulp Fiction” Sculptures by Jonathan Callan
For a while there, I received stacks and stacks of catalogues. Neiman’s, Saks, Hannah Anderson, Cabela’s, J.Crew, Anthropologie, you name it, they had my address.
My husband generously volunteered that I was to order EVERYTHING I wished from any catalogue that landed in our mailbox….as long as I did so by 7 p.m. the day it arrived. He knows me well. I would never be able to make up my mind that quickly! After that, went the caveat, I was to throw out the publication. I gotta respect how devilishly manipulative he is. He’ll do almost anything to ensure that our house doesn’t end up starring in an episode of Hoarders!
Artist Jonathan Callan found a use for his pile of pulp. I doubt his unique book sculptures are available from a Horchow catalogue.

Thank you for your comment! I agree!
We just love this! Amazing!
I WANT THESE! These pieces have resonated with me beyond any others you have written about. Just love his blog….
I would LOVE to see this in person. Thank you for sharing your experience. Wonders never cease!
I fell in love with Jonathan Callan’s sculpture when I saw it in Sheboygan, WI at the JMKAC in 2010. If you ever get a chance to see it in person, don’t miss it, it is wonderful! It will literally fill you with wonder…about human ingenuity and amazement at such a complete transformation of materials. I stood there staring at it, and even when I had figured out what it’s made of, I couldn’t quite believe what I was looking at how it could be so rich in color and have such a gorgeous flowy form.
Those are the most captivating sculptures I’ve ever seen!
I’m obsessed!
