I simply fell in love with these works when I saw them at the Brussels Art Fair 2008. It certainly gives me ideas.
I could not find a direct link to Jonathan Callan, but Googling his name will take you to several galleries that exhibit and sell his works.It is worth checking a few, the walls build with books are stunning. HERE is one.

Originele ideeën, de creativiteit van mensen kent geen grenzen.
Hier zijn de telefoonboeken en of de "yellow Pages" flinter dun (80.000 inwoners). Op de laatste foto, zijn dat plafond nagels?
is dit niet geweldig? het lijkt zo simpel, je moet er enkel maar opkomen.
de nagels : ik vermoed van wel.
idee : van hieruit wil ik eens zien of er een stoel-idee kan groeien.
Thanks for your post, took us to more of Jonathan's work (http://www.kudlek-vandergrinten.de/cms/de/-/drawings_department/jonathan_callan/picture_show.html)
