bedside reading, bedside painting

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what does it mean when you paint a picture of several thousand words?



Roula Partheniou's paintings in Winnipeg's Other Gallery are canvases made to resemble book covers.

I'm not sure if you're intended to hang these on the wall, or pile them on a bedside table or bookshelf. In a way, they could be used like those fake sets of encyclopedias that people put on their shelves - only much, much prettier.
