There’s Nothing to Fear, Brian Dettmer
He speaks of his work as a collaboration between himself and the book. With tweezers and surgical tools he carefully excavates, searching to expose images and ideas, history and memories. Take a closer look at “Fear”, and you will find “secrets”, “dark”, and “inactivity”. There is more to explore here than the graphic sculpture of fear.
The Encyclopedia of Architecture, Brian Dettmer
Dettmer does not rearrange any images or words from where they are found in the book. Things are removed, to reveal, never added in or replaced.
New Books of Knowledge, Brian Dettmer
In many of his sculptures you are hard pressed to determine the materials used, if you didn’t know they were books. They twist and flow, or pieces are geometrically cut to flare out into abstract shapes.
He has exhibited internationally, and has upcoming shows in 2012 throughout the U.S., including California, Georgia, Illinois and Washington D.C. See more information and images on his website: http://briandettmer.com
