The artist behind this lovely shredded book art remains anonymous. This sculpture was delivered to a library in Edinburgh, with an equally mysterious note attached that talked about how people who don't use long sentences are more fun to talk to. This is just the latest piece of art anonymously received in Edinburgh. Over a two year period 10 random and intriguing pieces of art have been sent out to [book stores, libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xixi-goldmye-bookstore), museums and other locations. This stunning book-built bird's nest is just the latest art work from this talented unknown artist. Sculptures really don't get more mysterious than this. Though the artist remains at large, these bookish sculptures are a welcome surprise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Anonymous Artwork:** The trend of anonymous artwork provides an opportunity for artists to create intrigue and mystery around their creations. - **Book Sculptures:** The trend of book sculptures opens up new possibilities for artists to transform books into unique and visually appealing artworks. - **Random Art Deliveries:** The trend of random art deliveries allows artists to surprise and delight people by anonymously gifting their creations to various locations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the trend of anonymous artwork to explore new forms of expression and engage audiences on a deeper level. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can capitalize on the trend of book sculptures to create visually striking book covers and enhance the overall reading experience. - **Retail and Hospitality:** The retail and hospitality industry can embrace the trend of random art deliveries by showcasing and featuring anonymous artworks in their spaces, thus enhancing customer experiences and creating a unique atmosphere. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Provocative Banned Books Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banned-books-jail.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Modernism Birdhouse Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project.md) - [Revolving Bright Kinetic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-of-light.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Block Puzzled Book Nooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-book-nook.md) - [Intricate Resin Hand-Painted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snh003.md)
