Most carving are made on old books (I kindly like those old fashioned feel), and some carving made on magazines which has high-quality paper and vivid color. What Georgia-based artist Brian Dettmer does to books would make any bibliophile or librarian cringe: he cuts and sculpts books into spectacular pieces of art. Using precise surgical tools and a dearth of outdated books, Dettmer makes ordinary volumes explode with images and words. His work takes the ideas and pictures has always been in books, both literally and figuratively, and puts them outside in beautiful stratigraphy.But if that’s too heady for your tastes, simply enjoy the completely awesome works this artist has to offer.
