What do you feel when looking at this
installation?
Can you imagine it moving in the breezes created by students
walking in and out of the library?
What if it wasn’t lit, or it was lit with a different
color light?

Brian DettemerSculptor that works with vintage literary books, outdated textbooks and encyclopedias.
First he seals the edges and then he carves into the book, moving one page at a time. It can take one week for a single book. Sometimes he glues more than one book together. He will glance through a book beforehand to see if he can work with the imagery. He is surprised by pages as he creates his collage, just like a reader going through the story can be surprised.
