Brian Dettmer:
Book Sculptor

Brian Dettmer’s carved books are intricate creations which seek both to seduce the eye and provoke the mind. Through the cut open cover of a book the viewer sees layers of specifically selected text and illustration carved from the pages of the book. Through the gaps in an architectural drawing or perhaps the chambers of the human heart, one can see a word peeking through, perhaps a clue to the larger meanings of the piece. These pieces seek to bridge the gap between a medium’s form and its message. Dettmer manages to use the contrasting layers of image and text to explore the conveyance of information, as well as being able to get the viewer to examine what that can mean.

Collage Tip in Page
With Animals and Fish
by RedLadyArts

"My grandmother, "Mama", instilled a love of God and of creativity in me from an early age. She told me to "use my imagination" and was always supportive in anything I ever tried to do. Over the years I have worked in various mediums, trying one thing after another, because I love the challenge and the processes." – RedLadyArts

by Kenneth Rougeau

For those of you who didn’t already know, I cut my teeth artistically by creating a series of 18 images as illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland. I’m currently in the midst of creating a new series for the sequel, Through The Looking Glass (the first three prints are out now).
