Brian Dettmer uses surgical knives and other tools to turn old books into remarkable, fantastical...
things. They remind me a little of something I posted a few months ago, about the
Tree of Codes. Have a look at
this blog to see more images of Dettmer's work.
They are gorgeous! It reminds me a chapter from "If on a winter's night a traveler" by Italo Calvino. There was a guy, Irnerio, who learned not to read he was using the books to create some "things" like this book surgeon but I'm sure he was not that professional.
