Carved Book Landscapes


An article from Thisiscollosal shows the intriguing art of Guy Laramee who has carved landscapes out of books. Here's a little from the artist:

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.
