Pages Unbound, an exhibit by Sabine Skoch, will be on display at the Faulkner Performing Arts Center through Oct. 25.

A literary world literally torn from the page, Pages Unbound transforms James Dashner's Maze Runner and Maze Cutter novels into sculptural works of art. Through tearing, folding and reshaping text, Skoch reimagines story as texture and narrative as form—inviting audiences to experience literature in a bold new light.

Meet the Artist and Author

6-7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6
Skoch will be joined by Dashner, the New York Times No. 1 bestselling author behind the blockbuster books that inspired the global phenomenon for a Meet the Artist and Author reception. Experience the intersection of art and literature in this unique evening of conversation, creativity and inspiration.

This event is free and open to the public.

About Sabine Skoch: Sabine Skoch is a self-taught multimedia contemporary artist based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Through painting, drawing, 3D printing, sculpting, fashion and theater, they express their ideas guided by a hands-on, experimental approach. What began with sketchbooks and craft store supplies evolved into something entirely unexpected when they created their senior prom dress from recycled pages of Harry Potter books. That project marked a turning point and continues to shape how they think about material, storytelling and form. Their work has been featured in regional outlets including KNWA, FOX-23, iHeart Radio and The Arkansas Times, as well as nationally in Seventeen Magazine, The Daily Mail and ABC New York. Exhibitions and fashion events include the Walton Arts Center's Nadine Baum Studios, The Ravington Ballroom, the Fayetteville Public Library and the University of Arkansas campus.
