Casey Curran is a Seattle artist who’s ability to fuse thick old books and miles of wire is beyond crafty. Not only does he have the skills to rework wire into an etymologically perfect insect, many of his works feature a hand crank and moving parts on the background of several seamlessly connected, once loved books. Curran’s crafty works can be seen at Gallery IMA in Pioneer Square, and the link, where there is series of his work in glorious vintage (looking) motion.
