Insane art formed by carving books with surgical tools

Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time.
Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or
dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed.

Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures.
He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural
forms.

Dettmer is originally from Chicago, where he studied at Columbia College.
He currently lives and works in Atlanta, GA.

When God created man "in His own image," part of that image was the ability to imagine and create new forms

of beauty. This artist certainly has done that!!
