Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina
Artist Brian Dettmer (above )maybe the mad scientist of book dissecting! He takes old books and dissects them into precious works of art.
“I work with knives, tweezers and surgical tools to carve one page at a time, exposing each layer while cutting around ideas and images of interest. Nothing inside the books is relocated or implanted, only removed.”
Dayum! This guy get’s the award for having the most patience, like ever. Check out Isaac Salazar (below) of Book of Art on Etsy. He folds pages to make a 3D word of your choice when opened.
I guess with things like iPads, who needs books, right?! Which reminds me of this lovely animated short called The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
