this is a book. whut.
Artist Guy Laramee sculpts incredible detailed landscapes by carving into old books.
So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are.

This is AMAZING!
I had the pleasure of installing a piece by Guy Laramee at a book arts show at Towson this year; I’ve been super lucky...
This is awesome. Kind of like Book Arts for 5-7 year olds…Except a little different :)! Register today for the Winter...
THIS IS AWESOME!
one of the more impressive ones
