Chicago-based Thirst collaborated with artist Francois Robert for his exhibition Stop the Violence and they have just released a book that “features a beautiful alphabet painstakingly arranged by Robert. Each letterform is composed solely of human bones.” The book is beautifully reproduced and can be requested for free (at the link), while the limited edition lasts.
