7/21/2005: Gerbil art
Oddly produced art and art produced by animals, this is an IotD natural. This woman, Sally Madge, is having this gerbil eat the book on purpose. The book is a 1933 edition of the New Illustrated Universal Reference Book. full story Sally says she's fascinated in the gerbil's "personal translation" of the book by choosing particular words and phrases. When the book is completely transformed, the shredded paper will be turned into a new piece of artwork. Okay. |

I was so scared of where this could have gone.
I had to look anyway.

Ok, so this chick is a Brit which means in no way, shape or form did my tax money go to fund this. *Whew!*

Be careful with gerbils. You never know where they've been.
Sally to Gerbil: "You're gonna eat those words, rodent." If she keeps the fecal material, she may wind up with a thesaurus.

Would have been more interesting if she'd put paint on its little feet and let it run around.

What a waste of a good book! - at 72 years old, doesn't it deserve a little more respect?
That book's probably older (and a great deal more interesting) then she is and yet she feeds it to that rat-thing! If she wanted to make a decent statement, why didn't she let it eat/cr*p on Hello,OK or any of the other rags that are degrading our society & brain washing our children?

Is it safe for the gerbil to eat all that paper with all that ink on it. I hope it digests it safely. I don't know much about gerbils we don't have them here in Oz, but they do look cute. :p

Welcome Bograt! The gerbil is probably enjoying the book, don't you think? I don't get Hello,OK around here. That's not like Hello Kitty is it? By the way, are you in London? I hope all's well with you and yours.

Shucks. I was sort of hoping for sculptures made out of gerbils. I was even thinking about what sort of substances one would use to affix them where they were needed, the color variations of individual gerbils used to effect a color pallette, gerbils of various ages/sizes needed to fit certain areas to bring out the desired look...
If you threw in some squirrels, chipmunks and other small, furry creatures, you could have mixed mammal media.

Is it me or does it look like a vulva? Or maybe the Madonna or wait Jesus Christ!

So all this time what my guinea pigs were doing was art. My one eats carrots like corn on the cob and all you have left is a little sliver...
I could make a mint! The tan one is the artist--the black one has passed |
