Focus on the Artist: Brian Dettmer

Brian Dettmer is a book artist, who creates amazing sculpture pieces out of books and pages. His work reminds me of Tom Friedmans in a way because of the obsession that goes into each one. They are extremely intricate and confusing, but are very, very beautiful and crazy. Here are a couple examples that I highly recommend viewing larger to see all the crazy.

The more I see about book art, the more I understand why it's it's own genre of art. The book is beautiful and represents so many differing things to many different people. Art is all about meaning, so naturally art created out of books makes sense.
