“Book Surgeon” – Incredible Book Sculptures by Brian Dettmer

by Desmond Ignaz 2014-08-22, 2:43 PMupdated 2018-08-23, 10:55 AM

 

Brian Dettmer, a New York-based artist known as the Book Surgeon, uses tweezers, knives, scalpels and other surgical tools to dissect and carve old books into intricate and beautiful sculptures. Dettmer’s work has a sort of vintage touch to it because he uses old books – maps, encyclopedias, textbooks, manuals, and any other sort of literature that he can turn into an interesting piece of art.
