Brian Dettmer

If everything that exists has a place,
place too will have a place,
and so on ad infinitum.
—Zeno of Elea

Working with knives, tweezers and surgical tools Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time, to create these sculptures from old books. He meticulously layers the existing contents to expose ideas and images of interest. Nothing is actually added or relocated inside the books — only removed. This is just a very small portion of Brian’s work seen here, more of his work can be viewed on his website.
